This journey starts in the past when, as a child, I was fascinated to see the “great creature” come to life and where strange and controversial things happen inside. The Circus is a magical, mysterious and strange world where light and darkness alternate to give life to the great show. A microcosm where elusive and disturbing figures move frantically in the shade of the tent as in a daydream.I’ve always been attracted by people living in the circus, mysterious and fascinating people, always on the road.
I followed some circuses in Italy over the last year, I lived with them and together with them I saw with my eyes the great work and sacrifice behind the big curtain.
