Corteo, which means entourage in Italian, is a joyful procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown, which will be performed at the Campus de Tarongers of l'Universitat de València starting on 16t June. This production of the Cirque du Soleil combines the passion of actors with the elegance and strength of acrobats, immersing the audience in a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity suspended somewhere in a mysterious space between heaven and earth.
Created and directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca, Corteo first premièred in Montreal in April 2005. Since then, it has visited 34 cities in 4 different countries all around the world and has been seen by over 5.4 million people. The spectacular nature of every performance by the Cirque du Soleil places it on the Mount Olympus of circus companies.
All the acrobatics are performed to perfection by true athletes who demonstrate their skill with the high wire, trampoline, rings and ladders.Following its stay in the city, Corteo will travel to Alicante, where it opens on 28th July at the Recinto Ferial de Rabassa.
