New York City, NY (PRWEB) April 13, 2006
Cirque du Soleil and Dreams Can Be Foundation are once again partnering to bring you a night of magical wonder under the Cirque du Soleil Grand Chapiteau. This year’s performance of ‘CORTEO’ from Cirque du Soleil will be staged at NYC’s Randall’s Island Park under the blue-and-yellow Grand Chapiteau, a state of the art big top. Featuring performers from 16 countries, Corteo is a thrilling expression of acrobatic artistry; technical expertise, extravagant design and exceptional musical inspiration.
Corteo, which means “cortege” in Italian, is a joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown. The show brings together the passion of the actor with the grace and power of the acrobat to plunge the audience into a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity situated in a mysterious space between heaven and earth.
This year’s benefit hosted by Dreams Can Be Foundation will include a special goody bag with donations from American and Brazilian vendors. The $125 Benefit ticket includes 'Category 1' preferred seating.
"Cirque du Soleil generously donated 200 tickets to Dreams Can Be Foundation to help our fund-raising efforts, allowing us to carry out our mission and aiding many thousands of needy children in programs that we support throughout Brazil." said Lisa Urgo Founder & President of the organization.
