In the director's words: "The show will explore the world of dreams. Proportions will live in a different, strange dimension: great and small, tragic and ridiculous, the magic of perfection and the charm of imperfection. (...) The mysticism of this show will transcend through the voice, its beauty through movement, its craziness through rhythm, its sensuality through touch, its mystery through gazes, its passion through dance."

Corteo evokes the full spectrum of emotion and experience: love, friendship, pain, joy, wisdom, beauty, life and even death. It's a timeless revel in which illusion teases reality, exploring the circus arts in a way that challenges the status quo. The show’s environment takes its inspiration from many architectural sources, especially Chartres cathedral and its labyrinth, which symbolizes the journey of life for Daniele Finzi Pasca. "The labyrinth is a great voyage: To find yourself, you have to lose yourself."
