A new Cirque Du Soleil is coming to Portland at the Moda Center, March 14-17th. This mystical show will take you to a whole new world and heighten your senses…. just as you would expect from any Cirque show.
Get carried away with life
Written and Directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca
Corteo, which means “cortege” in Italian, is a joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown. The show brings together the passion of the actor with the grace and power of the acrobat to plunge the audience into a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity situated in a mysterious space between heaven and earth.
The clown pictures his own funeral taking place in a carnival atmosphere, watched over by quietly caring angels. Juxtaposing the large with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection, the show highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as well as his wisdom and kindness, to illustrate the portion of humanity that is within each of us. The music, by turns lyrical and playful, carries Corteo through a timeless celebration in which illusion teases reality.
Love’s majestic highs
A bed that puts some bounce into life
Look to the skies, laugh from the bottom of your soul
Pride comes before a fall… and a triple somersault
Horizontal bar meets straight-up genius
There is still time to get your tickets for any of the Portland showings or to a city near you
