Granada Takes Two New Cirque du Soleil Titles

CANNES, October 8: At
MIPCOM today, Granada International announced two new additions to its
catalogue from Cirque du Soleil: Corteo and Through the Curtain,
both of which are available in HD at the market this week.

The 1×90-minute Corteo, intended as entertainment for the whole family,
is captured from all angles, using more than ten cameras, with distinctive
close-ups of the artists’ costumes and carefully crafted make-up alongside air
shots of the acrobatic and aerial acts.

Through The Curtain takes an in-depth look at the making of Corteo as viewers are invited to step backstage and
witness the creative process behind the production of the show.

Emmanuelle Namiech, the
director of co-productions and acquisitions at Granada International, noted:
“We’re delighted to have acquired a further two titles from Cirque du Soleil. Corteo is a breathtaking and beautiful show which we know
will have strong family appeal. We have achieved excellent worldwide sales with
other Cirque du Soleil titles in our programming portfolio and we are sure
these new programs will be even more popular.”

Granada International
currently has distribution rights to other Cirque du Soleil titles including Alegria, Dralion, Quidam, Fire
Within, Run Before You Fly, Varekai, Nouvelle Experience and
Saltimbanco.
