Don’t take me to the circus, take me to Cirkus Cirkör

On my first trip to New York City from Upstate New York where I went to college, I tried to find the classical New York excursions while remaining a non-tourist. The Big Apple Circus in Lincoln Center which takes place every year from end of October to begining of January was such an event. I don’t really like circuses, but at the same time I’m always drawn to them. The possibility of seeing something magical excites me however I’m always weary of the fact that it all turns into a show where the acrobats are just actresses trying to please the audience. This makes me incredibly sad and I cannot help to think what would happen if they could find other jobs and be somewhere else; would they be happier? Cirkus Cirkor’s Inside Out on the other hand is something really magical; not because it’s a circus but because it’s a piece of art.
