June 12th to the 6th of July, we have the grand opportunity to be entertained by the Cirque du Soleil. Corteo, which means “cortege” in Italian, is a jouous 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.
