Description

A small circus is turned into a place for collective daydreaming, where the spectators become protagonists in their own fantasies. With a highly refined style and amazing mastery of form, the mystery of dual representation, of one's inner-spectacle, comes to life and thrives here, palpable in all its splendor. (DV)
