“The circus is within us, it is part of our culture and has evolved with the change of society. Without the past there wouldn't future and so also for the contemporary circus. Only one aspect has not changed: the human factor, the creative gesture and the work necessary for the final result. I fell in love with the circus at the age of six when I saw a goddess arrive sliding on the clouds astride a swan to smile at humans and talk to elephants”.
