"What do you know about an Irish Circus?"
As a writer and a poet, I was always interested in the link between performance and one's native culture. Ireland has produced such a rich history of exceptional artists that it was interesting to me what kinds of bridges there were between past traveling artisans, and the lifestyle of performance artists today.
The circus is such a mystical lifestyle that it was interesting to be able to find a group of circus people who were living like they had for hundreds of years.
