CIRCUS 360

Open Frame Award

Dorin Moldoveanu discovers the “Metropolitan Circus” in his hometown of Bucharest. The round dome of the circus building is predestined for the 360° format. Alas, the storied 58-year-old circus finds itself at a critical juncture: after shows featuring wild animals are banned, the circus troupe has to reinvent itself. CIRCUS 360 shows preparations and rehearsals which give us an intimate glimpse of circus life. In December 2017 the first animal-free performance finally takes place.
