Cirque du Soleil's Corteo SlideShow

Corteo, Cirque du Soleil's lastest local production, is described as a nostaligic trip into a clown's life, yet the narrated slideshow does not seem to encompass this journey or correlate with the images shown. Instead, Gerard Theoret, Artistic Director for Corteo, repeatedly describes the premise behind the show-a touching story about a clown whom dreams of his funeral and reflects upon his personal life- as images of acrobats and dancers flash on screen. I would have preferred a behind-the-scenes narration of the production itself, similar to the Blue Man Group Slideshow we saw in class recently, which was visually captivating and interesting.
