While one can only talk about the productions with a tone of appreciation, we have to admit that the world of manèzes has been brought to other stages for quite some time.
What kind of productions have been presented on the stage of the liberal left in recent times, There is an elephant in the china shop, a roaring lion, a gnashing panther, an army of chimpanzees, but the bender is very missing from the stage. And there are the artists without a sense of danger, who swing blindfolded on the trapeze, not caring that they could mutilate hundreds of people in the auditorium when they hit the ground. the clowns , who don't make you laugh anymore, and instead of smiles, they can only put grimaces on faces.
The world of the circus is not child's play, the performers there know this well and amaze the circus audience with their perfect stunts. Perhaps it would be time for them to respect this in the left-wing manèzes this will not happen until there is a cultured stage master among them.
