Birthdays are
spent at the cirque; occasions normally spent at family dinners are spent in
the labyrinth of tents and caravans and platforms of the cirque. Treats from
vendors selling in the mirror crescent are wrapped as present in tissue paper
and carefully tucked away in pockets, brought to eager children or saved for
festivities at all hallow’s eve and Christmas. Wedding proposals take place in
the Ghost Grove with engagement rings of silver, moonstone and diamond. The
circus is more than an attraction to these ardent patrons, it is an escape, a
home away from home, and their hearts call to it.
