| Dive into a dynamic, rich and extravagant new Cirque du Soleil story when the critically acclaimed production of Corteo comes to downtown Los Angeles for a limited run. Corteo, which means "cortege" in Italian, is a joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown. This high-energy, dynamic 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. For almost 40 years, Cirque du Soleil has been leaving audiences awestruck with gravity defying feats, extravagant musical numbers and soaring acrobatic acts that redefine the limits of the human body! This extraordinary production continues their ongoing mission to invoke the imagination, provoke the senses, and evoke the emotions of everyone in the audience.
