CIRCUS CULTURE A circus’ culture is unique
for each one, no matter the
home country, the time, the
age of it or any other
difference it may has. In a
circus, all the distinctness are
suspended so magic and art
can be united.
FAMILY TRADITION
Most circus’ staff
followed the steps of
their performers
parents, because they
were born and raised
in the circus
environment.
BROKEN FAMILY TIES
Although most children that are born in a circus environment end up
link with this world, sometimes they decide during their teenage
years to abandon such lifestyle. Mainly because it is a demanding and
tough routine.
HARDWORK ROUTINE
People outside the circus
most of the time don’t realize
how difficult and different the
life of a performer is. There is
a lot of sacrifices and these
people has to endure a very
tough life. But it is also hard
to understand the value and
satisfaction artists in a circus
get from merely living such
life.
NOMAD LIFE
Day after day, year after year, the life of a circus
performer is made up of traveling to a new city or town,
practicing and performing.
For ten or eleven months out of the year, circus personnel
travel through the night to arrive at a new tow.
PERSONAL LIFE
It is very common for a circus for itself to
become a performers family. Twenty four hours
a day, seven days a week, these people has to
eat, sleep, travel and train together.
Because of that, their trust in one another is
absolute as many times their very lives depend
on each other. They endu up not sharing their
work, but also the joys and sorrows of another
and makes them their own.
CONCLUSION
Pratically everyone
loves going to the circus,
most people however,
have no real idea of what
the life of a circus
performer is like.
For people like them,
the circus means more
than a way of life, is love.
