Okay, take 5 minutes to imagine a funeral (sounds weird, but don’t worry), and not a sad one with violins, weeping Italians, and black umbrellas. No! We’re talking about a real carnival of memories, with acrobatics, kind angels, bursts of laughter, and a sprinkle of magic. That’s exactly what Corteo offers: a heartfelt tribute to life, crafted by Daniele Finzi Pasca.
At the Zénith in Strasbourg from May 14 to 18
Launched by a handful of street performers in 1984, Cirque du Soleil is now a giant in live entertainment. Over 400 million tickets sold, dozens of creations, and above all, this ability to dream big, time and time again. With Corteo, they’re making a return to their roots: human, fragile, and dazzling. A stunning set design, 175 handcrafted costumes, watercolor-painted curtains, and an incredible team.
e de madness.Let's talk about the show now! Clearly, it’s a dream at every moment, with attention to detail in every costume and scenes that make you look up, sparkling with joy like a kid under a Christmas tree. The audience is seated face to face, while the artists whirl between them. You find yourself right in the middle of a world suspended between heaven and earth.
Numbers that break the mold
Trampoline beds, swinging and twirling chandeliers, Cyr wheel, living puppet, burlesque golf… each scene is incredibly well done, all supported by a live soundtrack featuring accordion, saxophone, strings, percussion, and two singers who take you far, far away… So, if you don’t want to miss it.
