CIRQUE DU SOLEIL CORTEO RETURNS TO ATLANTA

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 8/7/24

From August 15-18, 2024 at Gas South Arena in Duluth
Tickets available now.

Corteo, the most enchanting arena production from Cirque du Soleil, is back in North America and heading to Duluth, set to charm audiences in August. This unique production, directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca, first premiered in Montreal in April 2005. Since its creation, the show has amazed over 10 million spectators, in 20 countries, on four continents. Corteo will be presented at the Gas South Arena for six shows only from August 15-18, 2024.

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.

In a Cirque du Soleil first, the stage is central in the arena and divides the venue, with each half of the audience facing
the other half, giving a unique perspective not only of the show, but also a performer’s eye view of the audience. An
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.


TICKET INFORMATION 
Tickets for Corteo in Duluth are available online exclusively to Club Cirque members starting today, January 16, at 10
AM. For free subscription, visit clubcirque.com. General on-sale starts on January 22 at cirquedusoleil.com/corteo


Performance Schedule
Thursday, August 15, 2024 – 7 PM
Friday, August 16, 2024 – 7 PM
Saturday, August 17, 2024 – 3 PM & 7 PM
Sunday, August 18, 2024 – 1 PM & 5 PM
