Cirque du Soleil once again comes to Redmond's Marymoor Park with Corteo. Corteo is about a circus clown who imagines his funeral and all the people who show up to celebrate him. The story could in fact be a portrayal about the clown's real funeral, and that's what makes the show so fascinating: we're never quite sure what is (or if anything is) real or imagined in the story. Corteo's amazing acrobatics, inspired music, and beautiful dance captivate the audience.
I saw the show last night, and was pretty much blown away. I've seen other Cirque shows, and I can't say that one is better than the other, simply because each show is so unique in the way the stage and performers are used. Corteo's highlights include an amazing trapeze performance, trampoliners, and a duet of acrobats who entwine each other thirty feet above the stage with no safety net. These acts are impossible to describe in words, so it's best that you go see it for yourself.
Corteo will be playing through May 25, every day except for Mondays. There really isn't a bad seat in the entire Grand Chapiteau (the grandstand is just as impressive as the shows that take place inside). Tickets pricing:
Adults: $55-$210
Children 2-12: $38.50-$147
Students 13+ w/ID and Seniors 65+: $49.50-$81
