Cirque du Soleil is thrilled to bring back the poetic, family-friendly production, Corteo to Climate Pledge Arena next year! After a highly successful run earlier this year, Corteo returns for an encore performance in January 2024!
Tickets are now on sale to the general public.
The story delves into the mind of a clown who envisions his own funeral. Rather than being sorrowful, it’s a joyous affair highlighting the strength, fragility, wisdom and kindness of the clown, illustrating the portion of humanity within each of us. Corteo, which means cortege in Italian, is a joyous procession, a festive parade.
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. Audiences will be charmed by the engaging carnival atmosphere and the unique stage set-up.
A first for Cirque du Soleil, the stage is centered in the arena, dividing the audience into halves as they face each other. Well-known features of Cirque du Soleil performances include aerial acrobatics, the Cyr wheel, teeterboard, juggling and more.
Beloved by millions, Corteo has been performed in 20 countries for over 10 million spectators, plunging audiences into a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity.
