Cirque du Soleil's latest stage show is rolling into Calgary on Thursday for a month-long exhibition. If you haven't seen the Quebec company's pioneering stage show yet, it's worth seeing. It's all about spectacle here; rather than a circus freakshow, this is a display of grace and acrobatics. The plot of Corteo involves a clown picturing his own funeral, which for some reason takes place at a carnival as angels watch over him. You know what? The plot isn't so important. Have you ever seen Knocked Up? Do you remember the scene where Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd go to Cirque du Soleil in Vegas while on shrumes? I'm not suggesting anything (for liability purposes); I just thought we should all remember that scene.
