Cirque du Soleil91裸聊视频檚 Corteo has descended upon Kelowna to tell the story of a clown who is planning his own funeral.
Though it may sound sad, artistic director, Mark Shaub says that it will be anything but, as the show goes through different memories as the clown reflects on his life. He reflects on the different people he has met from different circuses he worked at and the different lovers he has had.
91裸聊视频淚ts a celebration of that life and that91裸聊视频檚 one of the unique things about this (production),91裸聊视频� said Shaub. 91裸聊视频淚n Corteo we are not disguised as insects or these crazy spandex wearing things91裸聊视频� It is real people on stage portraying real emotions and displaying a community and companionship. So if you are open to being moved by characters and emotions you will be taken with Corteo.91裸聊视频�
When Corteo was imagined and then created it became the largest big top complex show that Cique du Soleil has put on according to Shaub, therefore they never thought it could be adapted to an arena format. Now the show requires 12 hours to set up and four hours to tear down as it travels from location to location.
91裸聊视频淚t was a huge job it was the biggest transfer from the big top arena that we have done,91裸聊视频� said Shaub. 91裸聊视频淚t was too complicated technically and it requires an intimacy for the audience that we wouldn91裸聊视频檛 have been able to achieve with an arena. Well time has shown that we were wrong on both of these counts, stage technology has change tremendously over the past 15 years and we were able to have the same effects and look for the show.91裸聊视频�
To achieve the intimacy they were looking for guests will sit on either side of the stage for the full experience to create that intimate environment they lost from the big top.
Tickets are available at the show runs from Oct. 17 until Oct. 21
