COSTA MESA -Corteo.
Cirque du Soleil performance of Corteo, which means "cortege" in
Italian. This is a joyous procession and 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, by turns lyrical and
playful, carries Corteo through a timeless celebration in which
illusion teases reality. Time: 8 p.m. Cost: $38 - 90.
