Corteo - The Story

Corteo is Italian for ‘cortege’, a formal funeral procession. But there’s nothing funeral about this experience. It’s a festive parade, imagined by a beloved clown, that merges the passion of great acting with the acrobat’s power and elegance.

Rather than mourning the loss of the clown Mauro, the show celebrates life and the afterlife with laughter and exuberance. The memories played out as you watch are rich and extravagant, your senses will be stimulated and your imagination fired. There’s no room for sadness or regret in this celebration of a life gloriously lived, a lesson for us all. You’ll leave the venue wondering where the boundary between illusion and reality actually lies.
