Cirque Du Soleil: Corteo

Canadian acrobatic troupe Cirque du Soleil performs Corteo in this extravagant stage show that will leave viewers visually arrested by the spectacle. The main character is a clown (Mozzani) who imagines his own funeral taking place in a carnival atmosphere while being watched over by caring angels. Juxtaposing the large with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic, and the perfect with the imperfect, the show brings to life the clown's strength and fragility. The production was intended to convey a visual message to the audience that they, like the clown, should recognize all these traits within themselves. (Stacey Pendry)
