Step inside a work of art that merges mythic pageantry, cutting-edge technology, and breathtaking performance. The Cortège is not just a show — it is a collective rite of passage. Occurring outdoors at dusk, this first-of-its-kind theater experience marks the end of one era and announces the dawn of another through movement, sound, costume, and spectacle. In an era defined by disconnection and cultural upheaval, The Cortège offers a rare space for solace, celebration, and renewal.
