Their acrobatics are breathtaking and the comedic humor amuses the audience to tears. I’m talking about artists from Circus of the sunwho again visited the Tri-City. The world-renowned Canadian circus charmed the audience gathered at Ergo Arena shows”Corteo“, which will be open until Sunday included.
Cirque du Soleil back in the Tri-City
Hailing from Canada and operating since 1984, Cirque du Soleil is visiting the Tri-City for the sixth time. It is a group that has completely changed the art of the circus and has become a world leader in the field of live performance. One of its phenomena is the fact that it does not use animals and relies on the capabilities of the human body, which makes it particularly different from similar formations.

Now is the time for the aerial story “Corteo”, which will appeal to adults and young viewers.
The Fascinating World of Cirque du Soleil’s “Crystal”
comic funeral procession
Corteo in Italian it means procession. Directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca, the show tells us the story of a clown who imagines his funeral. It’s a wiping through the twists and turns of his life, all the things that were beautiful, sad, but also beautiful and important – depicted on a circus canvas. However, it is not a sad passing story, but a show taking place in a carnival atmosphere.
The show mixes acting, acrobatics and all that is “suspended somewhere between heaven and earth”. The show had its world premiere in 2005 in Montreal and was initially a tent performance. The time has come, however, for global arenas, including Poland.
The show will be presented from Thursday to Sunday. A total of eight ridges have been planned. A small pool of tickets is still available, and we will pay for them from 169 to 349 PLN.
Phenomenal acrobatics is an understatement
“Corteo” is a high level show and a decent dose of artistry in a beautiful form. A perfectly planned and buttoned-up performance unfolds at every level. From the ground, through the air, and also from the public.
The action takes place in the following spaces: aerial, in which we see a duo on acrobatic belts or circus circles in the form of chandeliers, gymnastics and acrobatics, where artists in various combinations show spectacular somersaults and work with accessories, as well as juggling, in which one can admire, among others. juggling and diabolo show.
The whole thing is completed by colorful costumes and scenes of actors. The viewer is particularly drawn to the comic monologues of the main character, who often distracts the attention from the main scene, where the scenery changes in the blink of an eye.
The number in which the artist, hanging from giant balloons, “jumped” into the hands of the audience, was particularly appreciated by the audience. This form of interaction with the public made participants feel part of it.
It should be mentioned that the performance is created by artists from 27 countries who speak different languages, so it was quite surprising that there were inserts in Polish spoken by various artists and local references to Lechia Gdańsk or Gdynia. It was a nice nod to the local viewer.
Photographs, Sculpture and Contemporary Art. Shows in September
“Corteo” presented by Cirque du Soleil is a pampered show in every respect. From the choreographic, scenographic and musical layer. The show shows the essence of circus art. On stage, we will see beauty, strength and, above all, high quality energetic performances. Nothing unusual. The group is made up of the best of the best: actors, performers, acrobats, gymnasts and dancers from all over the world.
We were able to visit the band during the rehearsal and see what the so-called backstage show is. When the artists go on stage, they are as focused as possible and very attentive to the signals they receive from the production. There is no room for error here, and everyone knows it. And their safety is ensured by a whole team of people usually invisible on stage. Everyone finally makes viewers watch an amazing show that stays in your memory for a long time.
