The famous Cirque du Soleil is back in Seville with "Corteo" for the month of September and October. Held at Charco de la Pava (Triana) from September 7th till October 16th 2011.
Cirque du Soleil is a company from Quebec and is recognized worldwide for its high quality artistic productions. Since its inception in 1984, Cirque du Soleil has constantly sought to seduce the imagination, stimulate the senses and appeal to the emotions of viewers around the world.
In 1984, there were 73 people working for Cirque du Soleil. Today, the company has about 5.000 employees around the world, including about 1.300 artists. Only in the international headquarters in Montreal they have 2.000 employees working and the employees are a mix of 50 different nationalities and speak 25 different languages. Since 1984 more than 100 million spectators have attended Cirque du Soleil performances. Already about 15 million people saw a Cirque du Soleil performance in 2011.
This year’s performance held in Seville is called Corteo, "cortege" in Italian, a joyful, festive procession from the imagination of a clown. The show combines the passion of the actors with the elegance and power of the acrobats to plunge viewers into a mysterious world of theatre, somewhere between heaven and earth, mixing fun, comedy and spontaneity.
The clown represents his own funeral taking place in a carnival atmosphere, while some guardian angels are watching in silence. Through a mixture of large and small, the ridiculous and tragic, the magic of perfection and charm of imperfection, the show highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the clown and his wisdom and sensitivity to illustrate that portion of humanity that resides within us all. The music, lyrical and playful turn, carries Corteo through a timeless celebration in which illusion teases reality.
A true spectacle, starting September 7th at the Charco de la Pava in Seville. Price start at €35 for adults and €24,50 for children from 2-12 years old. Tickets will be going quickly and can be purchased through El Corte Ingles among other places.
