CORTEO

I February I went with one friend in Barcelona to see Corteo, the new show of Cirque du Soleil. That's about how a clown imagine his funeral. Seems dismal but was a very acrobatic and beautiful show.

Cirque du Soleil is the best circus in the world and they work to hold it. They have the better actors, but, my point of view is that they know how do a show. How manage de clothes, scenery, music... in this show they have a curtain across the stage that fill up over the tent. The clothing is all made by silk. The stunts are fine, calculated and fluid, always around the history.

Someone told me that for Cirque the Soleil made a new show profitable they must be minimum 6 years on tour! Imagine how giant must the inversion be.

Live in circus should be hard. Always moving around the world, without a stable home and that's why I admire the circus actors. They only live to make show and make happy other people, you, us.

Now it's still in Barcelona, if you have a free day I recommend it to you.
