Synopsis: Amazon.comFans of the fantastic Cirque du Soleil know that a DVD of a performance can only approximate the sensory experience of being there, but Corteo nonetheless will hold fans spellbound. The loose thread of theme is of a clown who dreams he’s dead, and is at his own funeral–so Fellini-esque processionals of angels, jesters, animals, musicians, cannibals, and other-worldly sprites seem perfectly appropriate. The most breathtaking segments include, as always, the sheer athletic prowess and fearlessness of the acrobats and gymnasts. One early scene shows fairies literally swinging from giant chandeliers–then tossing them about and gyrating within them so that at any minute they seem likely to spin into the audience, Phantom of the Opera-style. Other performers take simple hoops and turn them into Olympic-level endurance sport-equipment, by spinning inside, outside, around, and on top of them. Another highlight includes a dream sequence of every kid’s fantasy: jumping on a bed that somehow magically becomes a trampoline–and the jumping “kids” incorporate spins, dives, even leaping across the stage onto the other bed and back. There’s wily Cirque humor, too: one funereal procession includes four pairs of empty shoes, walking perfectly believably in synch behind shoes occupied by human mourners. The extras are, if anything, even more gripping, including Through the Curtain, a making-of documentary that includes interviews with first-time Cirque director Daniele Finza-Pasca, and some of the early choreography and practice sessions while routines are crafted and honed. Advice the director gives to one of the hoop gymnasts: “Talk to the ring… hold it like you would the horns of a bull!” And let the magic begin. –A.T. HurleyProduct DescriptionBring home the magic, artistry and phenomenal acrobatics of Corteo, the latest Cirque du Soleil show, captured in hi definition! Corteo, which means “cortege” in Italian, is a joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown.

  • Disc Quality & Inspection: Every disc is individually hand-inspected for surface imperfections. We look closely for scratches, scuffs, and other visual flaws to ensure it meets our quality standards.

  • Case & Packaging: Cases may show signs of wear from normal use, such as scuffs, shelf wear, or stickers from prior ownership.

  • Effort & Care: We dedicate time to cleaning and inspecting every item to help ensure it arrives ready to enjoy.

  • New-In-Package Items: Some items are still new and factory-sealed, even though they are included in our “Used” category for consistency.

Our goal is to provide you with used media that looks great, works as intended, and is backed by our careful inspection process.
