Cirque du Soleil Corteo first mesmerized audiences in Montreal in 2005 and has since captivated over 10 million spectators across 22 countries and four continents. Now, Lisbon audiences have the chance to witness this magical performance up close from 10-20 April 2025.
The word Corteo—Italian for “procession”—perfectly captures the spirit of this production. It tells the story of a clown who envisions his own funeral as a lively, carnival-like celebration. Surrounded by silently watchful angels, he embarks on a journey that fuses comedy, acrobatics, and pure theatrical artistry. The show beautifully contrasts the grand with the intimate, the ridiculous with the profound, and the precision of acrobatics with the spontaneity of human emotion.
A Spellbinding Performance Like No Other
Expect a visual and emotional feast as Corteo brings together the elegance of aerialists, the daring feats of acrobats, and the soulful expression of theatre. The performance unfolds in a surreal space between heaven and earth, where breathtaking stunts and poetic storytelling weave a deeply moving narrative. The music, at times playful and at times hauntingly lyrical, enhances the dreamlike atmosphere, making the experience unforgettable.
