SEVILLE, SPAIN, August 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) Corteo, a spectacular touring production from Cirque du Soleil, is due to open in Seville next month.
People visiting the Spanish city will be able to enjoy the show at the Charco de la Pava from Wednesday September 7th, with adult tickets priced between EUR37 and EUR177 (GBP32.40 and GBP155.20).
Corteo, which means "cortege" in Italian, is a contemporary circus production that premiered in Canada in 2005.
It tells the unusual story of a clown who watches his own funeral taking place in a carnival atmosphere, with angels looking on.
According to Cirque du Soleil, the show "highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as well as his wisdom and kindness, to illustrate the portion of humanity that is within each of us".
Corteo features a variety of circus acts, including aerial acrobatics, tightrope walking, juggling and teeterboard performers.
The Seville shows are due to begin at 20:30 local time, with occasional matinee performances starting at 16:30. Each one will last for approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, with a 30-minute intermission.
LateRooms.com recommends a wide range of accommodation in Seville that could appeal to circus fans, including the Hotel Don Paco Seville.

Working together can help battle effects of fatigue
2011-08-19
WASHINGTON — Fatigue can lead to dangerous errors by doctors, pilots and others in high-risk professions, but individuals who work together as a team display better problem-solving skills than those who face their fatigue alone, new research shows.
"Teams appear to be more highly motivated to perform well, and team members can compare solutions to reach the best decision when they are fatigued. This appears to allow teams to avoid the inflexible thinking experienced by fatigued individuals," said Daniel Frings, PhD, a senior lecturer in social psychology at London ...
Scientists discover the most primitive living eel
2011-08-19
Scientists at the Smithsonian and partnering organizations have discovered a remarkably primitive eel in a fringing reef off the coast of the Republic of Palau. This fish exhibits many primitive anatomical features unknown in the other 19 families and more than 800 species of living eels, resulting in its classification as a new species belonging to a new genus and family. The team's research is published online in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Aug. 17.
Many of the physical features of this new genus and species of eel, Protoanguilla palau, reflect its relationship ...
Using powder-free latex gloves reduces latex allergy rate in health care workers
2011-08-19
Researchers at The Medical College of Wisconsin investigating latex allergy in health care workers have demonstrated the most effective public health strategy to prevent allergic sensitization is by stopping the use of powdered latex gloves. Previous medical studies pointed out this association of latex allergy to powdered latex glove use but were not able to completely confirm this link in specific workers. Reducing the use of powdered gloves reduced the allergen in the air and in air ducts at two hospitals, and prevented sensitization to latex in health care workers ...
Why spiders don't drop off of their threads

This release is available in German.
"The strength of spider dragline silk exceeds that of any material produced in laboratories, by far. All attempts to manufacture threads of similar strength have failed thus far," explains Professor Horst Kessler, Carl von Linde Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study at the TU Muenchen (TUM-IAS). In collaboration with the workgroup of Prof. Thomas Scheibel, who was a researcher at the TU Muenchen until 2007 and who now holds a chair of the Institute of Biomaterials at the Universitaet Bayreuth, Professor Kessler's team has been ...
Consumers willing to pay more for sustainable apparel if business is transparent, MU study finds
2011-08-19
COLUMBIA, Mo. – The public often views the apparel industry as lacking transparency, sustainability and ethical practices. Scandals like child labor, sweat shops, and environmentally damaging manufacturing methods have alienated many consumers from the industry. Now, University of Missouri researchers have found that consumers are willing to support apparel companies that do have employ sustainable and ethical practices; but those businesses have to prove it.

Stock markets can regulate themselves
2011-08-19
This release is available in German.
Whenever crisis threatens the financial markets, voices are loud in calling for greater control. It is dubious, however, whether tighter regulation would actually offer investors better protection against losing their capital. "Economic history shows us that strictly regulated stock markets do not necessarily function better than those that are given a free hand," says historian and economist Carsten Burhop of the Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods in Bonn.
Based on selected sample cases, he and two British colleagues, ...
