Title

Clown on High Wire, EUROPA Issue The Circus, Republic of Cyprus

Description

Throughout the ages the spectacle of the circus has provided an ever changing and endearing entertainment to populations in all societies and remains a most popular family outing to this day. In the Roman Empire, circuses featured gladiators fighting to death to earn their freedom, spectacular chariot races where no means were barred, men versus animal duels, equestrian feats with dare devil riders, acrobats and wrestlers. During the European dark ages the circus was forgotten. However, touring performers at marketplaces kept the idea of the circus alive in the hearts of people both young and old.
