Cirque du Soleil’s Corteo – REVIEW
Cirque du Soleil’s Corteo: Where Clowns Fly High and Beds Bounce Even Higher!
July 11th, 2024
Step into a world where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, where a whimsical celebration of life unfolds before your eyes. Cirque du Soleil’s Corteo located at Sunrise’s Amerant Arena invites you to experience a mesmerizing journey filled with breathtaking acrobatics, enchanting theatrics, and a vibrant medley of emotions. Join the millions who have been captivated by this extraordinary spectacle and prepare to be dazzled as the magic of Corteo comes alive in South Florida.
The show begins with a poignant yet whimsical scene of the clown Mauro on his deathbed, seamlessly transitioning into a vibrant celebration of his life through his own funeral. Guided by angels who teach him to fly, Mauro’s journey blends the otherworldly with the extraordinary. The story, though abstract, is infused with humor and breathtaking acrobatics, making it an uplifting experience despite its somber theme.
The setting of the show is a delightful surprise. What appears to be a small, intimate audience is revealed to be a grand stage flanked by spectators on both sides, thanks to Set Designer Jean Rabasse’s ingenious design. This unique configuration, a first for Cirque du Soleil, allows the audience to not only watch the performance, but also glimpse the reactions of those on the opposite side. The spectacle creates a truly immersive and dynamic atmosphere.
One of the most enchanting moments involves a little person being carried into the audience by balloons, inviting spectators to playfully push her around like a beach ball at a stadium.
However, the set designs were nothing short of spectacular themselves. Beds that doubled as trampolines provided a platform for astonishing acrobatic feats, while a cleverly used trap door in the center of the stage added an element of surprise. Another time during the show the stage was adorned with stunning, gigantic chandeliers that shimmered above while acrobats maneuvered around them with remarkable skill.
All night the performers transitioned seamlessly between acts from mesmerizing aerialists and trapeze artists to hula hoopers, jugglers, ladder climbers and human rings. Each act showcased the uncanny balance and choreography of the performers, leaving the audience in a state of constant amazement.
Accompanying these visual marvels is a wondrous soundtrack that meshes seamlessly with the theatrics, enhancing the emotional and visual impact of each scene. Over 80 costumes are utilized throughout the show, adding to the visual feast and helping to bring each character and scene to life.
Corteo first premiered in Montreal in 2005 and has since visited more than 60 cities in 19 different countries as a Big Top show before transforming into an arena show in 2016. More than 8 million people have been enthralled by the world of Corteo. The cast is an international one, representing 16 nationalities, with performers from Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Finland, France, Hungary, Italy, Japan, , Kazakhstan, Romania, Russia, United Kingdom, Ukraine, United States, and Uzbekistan. This diverse ensemble brings a rich variety of skills and styles to the performance, making it a truly global celebration of artistry and acrobatics.
Cirque du Soleil is renowned for its ability to blend incredible physical feats with rich storytelling and artistic flair, and Corteo is no exception. This wondrous show is a delight for all ages, making it a must-see before it leaves South Florida.

Luli Fama celebrates its Paradise Found Cruise ’27 swimwear and resortwear collection with a luxury Miami launch at its Dadeland Mall boutique.
August 20, 2026
Miami swimwear favorite Luli Fama is stepping into Cruise ’27 with Paradise Found, a new swimwear and resortwear collection inspired by tropical escapes, exotic prints and effortless vacation glamour.
South Florida Insider has already taken a closer look at the Luli Fama Paradise Found collection, and it feels made for Miami.
The new Cruise ’27 collection combines the bold, body-confident swimwear Luli Fama is known for with elevated resort pieces designed to move effortlessly from the beach and pool to cocktails and dinner.
On Thursday, August 20, Luli Fama will celebrate Paradise Found with an exclusive evening at its newest Dadeland Mall boutique in Miami, complete with fashion, light bites, personalized surprises, and a luxe espresso martini bar.
Inside Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Collection
Paradise Found is inspired by the feeling of discovering a hidden tropical retreat.
Think lush landscapes, warm golden hour light, exotic patterns, and silhouettes made for somewhere beautiful.
The collection features Luli Fama signatures, including flattering ruched details, seamless construction, adjustable fits, and statement swimwear, alongside an expanded selection of resortwear.
We especially love the pieces that blur the line between swim and ready-to-wear.
Flowing dresses, sleek coverups, and body-skimming silhouettes make it easy to transition from a sun-drenched afternoon to an evening out without losing that relaxed resort feeling.
It is sensual, polished, and unmistakably Miami.
Luli Fama Brings Luxury Resort Style to Miami
There is a reason Paradise Found feels so natural in South Florida.
In Miami, resortwear is not reserved for vacation.
A swimsuit can become part of an outfit. A coverup can take you to lunch. A flowing resort dress can carry you from an afternoon by the water straight into cocktails and dinner.
Luli Fama has always understood that lifestyle.
Paradise Found takes it a step further, creating a Cruise ’27 wardrobe that feels as appropriate for a tropical getaway as it does for a weekend in Miami.
The campaign captures that mood beautifully, pairing the collection with palms, lush greenery, tropical architecture and the kind of sun soaked setting that makes you want to extend your vacation indefinitely.
Paradise Found Comes to Luli Fama at Dadeland Mall
Luli Fama will bring the world of Paradise Found to life on Thursday, August 20 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall in Miami.
The intimate celebration will bring together invited guests, influencers, celebrities and media for an early look at Cruise ’27.
Luli Fama is also dressing invited guests in pieces from the brand, allowing the new collection to be experienced the way it was designed to be worn: in motion, styled and out for the evening.
Luli After Hours Espresso Martini Bar
Fashion is only part of the experience.
For the Paradise Found celebration, Luli Fama is introducing Luli After Hours, an Espresso Martini Bar inspired by the glamour of the collection.
Guests will be able to sip three specialty espresso martinis created for the evening.
The Luli Babe puts a polished spin on the classic espresso martini, while Golden Hour pairs salted caramel with edible gold shimmer. Miami After Dark takes a richer approach with chocolate hazelnut and a cocoa dust finish.
Along with cocktails, guests can expect light bites, curated details and a special personalized surprise.
The result feels less like a traditional retail event and more like checking into a private resort for the evening.
A Miami Swimwear Brand Celebrates at Home
For a brand with such a strong connection to South Florida, launching Paradise Found in Miami feels especially fitting.
Luli Fama has built its identity around colorful, confident swimwear and resort fashion with a distinctly tropical point of view.
Paradise Found carries that identity into Cruise ’27 while giving it a more elevated, escapist mood.
And with Luli Fama’s newest boutique now at Dadeland Mall, Miami shoppers have another destination to experience the brand in person.
After getting our own closer look at Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 collection, we can safely say the name fits.
Paradise has officially been found, and this time, it is in Miami.
