For the first time Cirque du Soleil now presents the magic of its acclaimed production "Corteo" in major German and Austrian arenas. The unique, cheerful procession of clowns and acrobats, staged by Daniele Finzi Pasca, comes to Leipzig, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Graz, Stuttgart and Mannheim from late October to late December 2019. A special feature is a revolving stage that divides the audience into two opposite areas, allowing the audience to also experience the performance from the artists' perspective, a first for Cirque du Soleil. Corteo, originally conceived as a marquee show, is considered one of Cirque du Soleil's towering audience successes. Since its premiere, the show has thrilled more than eight million viewers in 19 countries on four continents. Corteo, which means "pageant" in Italian, refers to a joyous procession, a festive parade that takes place in a clown's imagination. The show combines the passion of the actor with the grace and strength of the acrobat. The audience enters an imaginary world of fun and spontaneity in a magical place between heaven and earth. The clown experiences the end of his time on earth in a carnival-like atmosphere, while compassionate angels watch over everything. Corteo juxtaposes the big with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic, and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection. This highlights both the strength and fragility of the clown. His wisdom and kindness symbolize the humanity that lives in all of us. The music, alternately lyrical or playful, carries Corteo through a timeless celebration where illusion teases reality. The stage concept transports the audience to a theatrical atmosphere not seen before in Cirque du Soleil arena shows. The Eiffel Tower inspired curtains were hand painted and give the stage a grandiose look. The buildings give it a poetic setting. In total, 51 acrobats, musicians, singers and actors from around the world perform at Corteo.
