Circque Du Soleil-Corteo

I finally saw the Cirque Du Soleil (太陽馬戲團) show. Its venue is located at Concord Pacific place which is about 10 mins from the place I saty in Vancouver. The show, Corteo, is super good. No wonder people keep saying that "everyone should see the Cirque Du Soleil show in lifetime." This amazing circus is going to Taiwan to perform next year. I am sure it will attract a lot people to wintness the gorgeous circus in human history. The following is a piece of information from the Cirque du Soleil website.
"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, by turns lyrical and playful, carries Corteo through a timeless celebration in which illusion teases reality."
