CORTEO, ONE OF THE BEST-LOVED CIRQUE DU SOLEIL PRODUCTIONS, IS COMING TO EVANSVILLE WITH ITS NORTH AMERICAN ARENA TOUR
At the Ford Center From January 23 to 27, 2019
Tickets on pre-sale exclusively to Cirque Club members today General on-sale begins August 17, 2018
Advance tickets for Corteo are available now online to Cirque Club members. Cirque Club membership is free and benefits includes access to advance tickets, special offers and exclusive behind the scenes information. To join, go to www.cirqueclub.com.
Tickets will be available to the public as of August 17 at 10 am at cirquedusoleil.com/corteo.
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 turns lyrical and playful carrying Corteo through a timeless celebration in which illusion teases reality.
Evansville, August 13, 2018 – Corteo, the latest and most enchanting Cirque du Soleil’s arenaproduction is now touring in North America. The show will visit Evansville at the Ford Center from January 23 to 27, 2019 for a limited run of six performances. This unique production, directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca, first premiered in Montreal under the Big Top in April 2005. Since then, the show has been a great success and has amazed 8 million people in 19 countries on four continents.
The concept and disposition of the stage bring the audience in a theatrical atmosphere like never seen before in Cirque du Soleil arena shows. The set curtains, inspired by the Eiffel Tower, and the central curtains, which were hand painted, give a grandiose feel to the stage. This sets the tone for the poetry of Corteo.
The cast of Corteo includes 51 acrobats, musicians, singers and actors from all around the world.Sponsor
Cirque du Soleil gratefully acknowledges the official partner of the Corteo USA tour: Sirius.
