CIRCUS
BORN TO BE CIRCUS & DOWN THE ROAD
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19 @ 7:30PM & 10:30PM
Born to Be “Circus” – Big Apple “Circus” founder Paul Binder embarks on his annual trip to scout new talent at the renowned Monte Carlo “Circus” festival. Not only is this one of the glitziest social events of the year, but it’s also an opportunity to stay connected with the international “Circus” community, the extended family if you will. Here,we learn about the long tradition of “Circus”, and how those in this community are working to ensure that “Circus” survives.
Down the Road – In the series’ final episode, we traverse the final three months of the season. In the homestretch everyone is happy that the end is in sight, though many are uncertain about their job prospects when the season ends in July. Many of our characters are looking forward to bright futures – a 17-year old acrobat who was born and raised in the “Circus” is excited to go off to college, and one of the ring crew has found his soulmate in another crew member. As the trailers start to pull out of the lot, people jump out of their cars to give each other one last hug, and a “see you down the road,” the age-old “Circus” farewell, and we watch the tent come down one last time.
