Corteo - Ottawa
2023-06-28 - 2023-07-02 | Canadian Tire Center, 1000 Palladium Dr, Ottawa, K2V 1A5, Canada
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.

Luna Park - Lugano
2023-09-15 | LAC, Piazza Bernardino Luini 6, Lugano, 6900, Switzerland
Luna Park is like a “fairground ride” inside stage machinery and the secret world of circus performers and clowns. A return to the origins of the Compagnia Finzi Pasca, wholly devoted to today’s public, who can let themselves be transported by lights, colours, mirrors, music and by the nostalgia of a surprising and light-hearted age.
There is mystery in fairgrounds… as in this show, where in small groups the public will travel in a dream, behind the stage curtain, discovering unique and secret points of view and living the stage together with the actors, close to them as never before but in complete safety.
For groups of up to a maximum of 25 people, with around 50 “fairground rides” a day lasting 20 minutes each. From 8 to 20 September at Lugano LAC (Lugano Arte e Cultura).

A waking dream of Mexico
Luzia takes you to an imaginary Mexico, like in a waking dream, where light (“luz” in Spanish) quenches the spirit and rain (“lluvia”) soothes the soul. Through a series of grand visual surprises and breathtaking acrobatic performances, Luzia invites audiences to escape on a surrealistic journey through a sumptuous and vibrant world suspended somewhere between dreams and reality. Smoothly passing from an old movie set to the ocean to a smoky dance hall or an arid desert, Luzia cleverly brings to the stage multiple places, faces and sounds of Mexico taken from both tradition and modernity. Rich in awe-inspiring moments, Luzia enchants by incorporating rain into acrobatic and artistic scenes – a first for a Cirque du Soleil touring production.

«We are creating a new show that plays –in keeping with our very own approach to storytelling– on the balance between a sweet and nostalgic form of absurd. Regardless of the simplicity and bareness of the theatrical apparatus, ours is a surrealist universe, somehow fiercely serene, a self-reflecting form of theatre, where actors use the proscenium to engage in a dialogue with the audience, where illusion and tricks are always disclosed at the end, where we laugh and are moved, where the clowns do not play the fools, but rather embody the frailness of losing heroes. »Daniele Finzi Pasca
