A very special circus has arrived in our town: Politician-clowns dazzle with their tricks! Trained migrants from exotic lands dance the polka! Single mothers balance on barbed wire! Soldiers juggle grenades! Billionaires float in space above human pyramids! And you — for just a few euros — can laugh yourself to tears!

​

An international collective of activists and artists from the former Yugoslav countries combines political engagement, humor, and circus skills in a bold performance that asks: Is the circus merely a joyful escape from harsh reality or can it also change the world?
