THE CIRCUS

The circus is a summer tradition in Denmark. Every year a number of companies tour round the small towns, playing to capacity houses. The full occupancy is due to the fact that it is usually for one night only. As soon as the performance is over and the audience has filed out, everything is taken down, packed away, and taken to the next town, 20 km away. It's impressively efficient.

Tonight the circus came to the small town where I live. I couldn't go, but my wife did, along with her small nieces and nephew, who all enjoyed it. And now it has gone until next year.
