“Respectable public”, in case you haven’t heard, March 27th is Circus Day! And of course we wouldn’t let the date pass us by. That’s why we’ve selected circuses in São Paulo for those who are also passionate about clowning and other circus arts.
After all, it’s one of the most traditional forms of entertainment, which had its heyday at the beginning of the last century. That’s because, at the time, the circus was able to bring together all kinds of people around the arena.
However, with the passage of time and in a world that is practically digital, circuses have lost their place. But that doesn’t mean they’re over. Proof of this are these tarpaulins that stay up.
