Behind the scenes

Behind the scenes of an old and historical Circus.

The "Circus Wigliams" is a historical small circus, it's made up of
artists from all parts of Europe. A tradition handed down from
father to son, here you can meet artists who passionately and
courageously continue to perform well in front of platee
increasingly empty.

As an extended family, you can see the care and the attention to
detail, the concentration and the fear for the show. Behind the
scenes of an old and historical Circus you can see the passion of
someone who is an artist for love.

Andrea Scirè is an Italian street photographer based in Treviso. Sicilian by origin, he founded fotostreet.it, recognised among the 45 most recommended street photography blogs worldwide. His work has been internationally awarded at PX3 Prix de la Photographie Paris (Gold 2017), IPA New York (Second Prize 2017), and TIFA Tokyo (Silver 2019), among others.

His series have been exhibited internationally.
