Humanity through circus life. 3 different English circus: Alternative-No
Fit State, traditional- Gifford, and festival - Shambolic side show. First
part of the book is a performance, second is building up a show from
rehearsal and the 3. is life on the fields. The first part show human
emotions , struggles, fear, anger , the second how people relate to
each other during work and living together, and the 3. part is magic of
life through a child journey growing up with the circus. Its more of a
story book through pictures, and I call it photocomicgraphy. It's about
love, compassion, emotional and physical intimacy, caring, sharing.And
what life is in the circus. Hard work, dedication, choosing a life where
we are happy. I like this book to be an inspiration how as a human
race we could/ should relate to each other in a healthier way.
