Hooray, hooray, hooray! The circus is leaving town! But gladly we arrived on time! :)Circus is not only for kids, that's why we try to get "under the tent" everytime there is a good show around! eheh Last year, we saw the International Circus Festival of Monte-Carlo, in Monaco, and it was amazing with artists from all over the world.
This year, in Paris, the Beijing Circus was in town (Les Étoiles du Cirque de Pékin) and the show was constantly being extended in time because it was always sold out. And they have reasons for that! The chinese circus is well known for the hard work demanded from their stars.
We were amazed with all those kids, guys, girls - even seniors - and their skills!
In the year that China is the host of the Olympic Games, we pay here a small tribute to the chinese circus school and their amazing stars!
One curiosity about the place where the show was held: the Cirque Phenix. This modern tent in Paris was built specifically for this kind of events and you can seat anywhere inside that you won't have those annoying poles/columns blocking the view!
It was a good opportunity to practise at taking pictures under bad light conditions! :P
In the meantime I will work out... maybe they'll let me join them! Hey, it's a good way to travel around the world! ;)
