BANGOR, Maine — Cirque du Soleil, a Canadian entertainment circus-like show, hits the stage Friday evening for its first show of the weekend at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor. High-flying acrobats, clowns, and live music will fill the auditorium starting at 7:30 p.m. The show will be performing 'Corteo,' the story of a clown who witnesses his own funeral within a carnival-like setting. Over 100 local professionals were cast to help build the grand stage—12 hours of load-in and after this weekend, just four hours to load it all back up.
