Cirque du Soleil Corteo News Stories
From The New York Times: "The Cirque du Soleil's latest extravaganza, which upholds the ubiquitous Cirque standard, is a fantasy of a dead (though cheerful) clown imagining his own funeral. Unsurprisingly, his cortege is full of circus acts." - Read More »
From Takin' Broadway:"This does not look like a typical Cirque du Soleil show; there are no beautifully colored forests or exotic costumes in a fantasy land as in past productions. The characters in this production are real human beings trying various acrobatic and gymnastic feats." - Read More »
From Metroactive: "Considering the historical, linguistic, philosophical and artistic references all tumbling around in a Cirque du Soleil production, you may think the creation process is quite cerebral. But speaking to Alison Crawford, the artistic director for the new touring Cirque show Corteo, what you hear most clearly is the heart. " - Read More »
About Cirque du Soleil Corteo
Cirque du Soleil Corteo has been wowing audiences of all ages since 2005, and it is still going strong! As one of Cirque du Soleil's fantastic touring shows, it is a must see for fans of other Cirque productions and it is an excellent introductions to those unfamiliar with Cirque du Soleil. The show includes many beautiful sequences, including high-flying acts completed without trapezes. An article on About.com, describes such airborne acts in Corteo: "Women flew through the air on the chandeliers, twisting around and through them with incredible grace...Although there were no trapezes used, there was a lot of flying through the air. The second act ended with two parades coming from either side of the stage meeting in the middle around a large teeter-totter. Four men squared off over it, leaping on to the board sending each other higher with every bounce. I found myself gasping at the heights they were achieving and the tricks they were doing in the air." Corteo is sure to wow you with its mix of classic clowning with Cirque du Soleil flair.

Cirque du Soleil's Official website decribes Corteo as follows: "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." Tickets for Corteo are on sale now!

About Cirque du Soleil
According to Wikipedia, Guy Laliberte, founder of Cirque du Soleil, was born in Quebec City, Canada in 1959. He became interested in the performing arts in high school, and eventually joined up with a group of 20 stilt-walking street performers called "Fete Foraine de Baie-Saint-Paul." In 1983, the government of Quebec gave Laliberte a 1.5 million dollar grant to produce a show for Quebec's 450th anniversary celebration, which he called "Le Grand Tour du Cirque du Soleil." Laliberte's vision for Cirque du Soleil (French for "Circus of the Sun") was a production that would combine the circus arts and street entertainment with dramatic lighting, original music, and extravagant costumes to achieve a high arts experience.
The first Cirque du Soleil production was a success, and earned Laliberte contracts for another year of performances. Despite some early financial difficulties, the success of early shows La Magie Continue (1986), Le Cirque Reinvente (1987), and Nouvelle Experience (1990) managed to keep Cirque afloat. Next came Fascination in 1992, which was a collage of the most popular acts from the previous Cirque du Soleil shows.
Also in 1992, Cirque du Soleil's longest-running show, Saltimbanco began. Saltimbanco (derived from the Italian for "to jump on a bench") was the first Cirque show to focus on a narrow theme; namely that of "cosmopolitan urbanism." There have been a string of touring Cirque du Soleil productions through the years. Alegria appeared in 1995, and was about the abuse of power and struggle for freedom. In 1996 came Quidam, which was a manifestation of a daydream. Dralion began touring in 1999, and was Asian-themed. Based on the myth of Icarus, Varekai was created in 2002. In 2005, a performance inspired by the painting "The Grand Parade: Portrait of the Artist as a Clown" appeared, called Corteo. Most recently, the Middle-Eastern inspired KOOZA hit the road in 2007.
Cirque du Soleil also offers up a number of resident shows. The first was called Mystere, which began in 1993 at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, and was an exploration of the beginning of life in the universe. "O" (a phonetic spelling of the French word for "water") opened its doors at the Bellagio in Las Vegas in 1998, and was the first show of its kind to be performed in water. La Nouba was created for Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida in 1998, and was based on the concept of a fairy tale. In 2003, Zumanity, the first Cirque du Soleil show intended for mature audiences, began at the New York-New York Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. KA, arrived at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in 2004, and depicted the story of imperial twins. Lastly came a show called LOVE in 2006 at The Mirage in Las Vegas, which is based on the music of The Beatles.
Cirque du Soleil has been honored with numerous awards since its inception, including multiple Emmy Awards, Drama Desk Awards, and other prestigious international medals and awards. Over its fifteen years of existence, Cirque du Soleil has visited over 200 cities around the globe. It is estimated that over 80 million people have seen a Cirque du Soleil performance since 1984, and they keep coming back for more!

"When it was over, I sat back, clapping loudly, in awe of the feats I had just seen on the stage.

"What a fabulous show. I bought tickets for our whole company to go. 75 of us! It was a great night." - Eric E. at Yelp.com
"On a practical and yet philosophical note, it is so important to support theater and human circus shows like this one. There is life beyond cable and video games and even the internet (gasp) and there are some things that can touch us and remind us what an incredible thing it is to be human and to be alive. For me, Cirque du Soleil is one of them." - Jennifer F. from Yelp.com
