Always a frequent visitor to the Bay Area, Canadian circus juggernaut Cirque du Soleil is finally returning for the first time in three years with its hit show “Corteo.” This particular piece previously came to town in 2005, the same year that it had premiered in Montreal.
Written and directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca, “Corteo” features angels and human marionettes, bouncing trampoline beds and women swinging from giant chandeliers.“I am a Swiss Italian guy,” he explains. “The Italian concept of clownery is so related with commedia dell’arte. For us, the clown is a mix between the tragic and the comic. It’s not slapstick, for example. If you’re think of Dario Fo and Benigni, Troisi, that’s our reference.
Though it’s been 18 years since “Corteo” premiered, there’s more continuity among the company than one might think. The central Dreamer Clown Mauro Mozzani, for example, is the same one who played the central role when the show premiered and a longtime collaborator of Finzi Pasca’s. “After so many years, there are some artists that were there from the beginning,” Finzi Pasca says. “Some leave the show and come back later, but we still have a person on stage that was part of the original cast. So the soul of the show is preserved. And of course we try always to do something new, something better.”
