"CIRCUM" is the result of a two year effort in Uruguayan circuses,
and with already retired circus families.The emotion incited by
the discovery in our country of the existence of this magic world
only compares to the remembrance of the fascination that it caused
in me during my childhood, as I longed to be a trapeze artist.
After living during almost a year in a circus, the enchantment
of this unique world persists, a world that turns driven by the
armonic coexistence of the opposites. Its stability is based in
nomadism, its reality is a fantasy of sparkles and feathers; its
security is sustained by masts, stakes, and tightrope performances.
The circus: a marvelous world that bursts in without notice with
its multi-colored big top, its music, its textures and its smells,
its lights and shadows, surprising with its magic the unaware
gaze and our fragile heart.
