September 18 - September 24
Within Australia, Corteo is heading exclusively to Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide. This exceptional show, directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca, first premiered in Montreal under the Big Top in April 2005 and features a double-sided stage where audiences face each other. Since its creation, Corteo has amazed over 12 million spectators, in 30 countries, on 4 continents. Corteo will be presented in Australia for 53 shows in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide before the show heads to New Zealand. 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 artist, 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. In a Cirque du Soleil first, the stage is central in the arena and divides the venue, with each half of the audience facing the other half, giving a unique perspective not only of the show, but also a performer’s eye view of the audience. An atmosphere like never seen before in Cirque du Soleil arena shows.
