Kaj je onkraj tistega platna? Film Mascates de Sonhos: magija in odpor cirkusa se skozi pogovore z lastniki, umetniki in raziskovalci cirkusa poglobi v različne vidike sodobnega cirkusa ter v njegove načine nadaljnjega obstoja in upiranja. To je potovanje odpornosti, ustvarjalnosti in strasti, ki vabi k razmisleku o vlogi cirkusa v naših življenjih.
What lies beyond that canvas? Through conversations with circus owners, artists, and researchers, Mascates de Sonhos: The Magic and Resistance of the Circus dives into the many facets of contemporary circus and the ways it continues to exist and resist. A journey of resilience, creativity, and passion, inviting us to reflect on the role of the circus in our lives.

Ste že bili v cirkusu? Morda. Ste že bili v cirkusu v Etiopiji? Verjetno ne. Potovanje v svet etiopskega cirkusa Debere, ki ga spremljajo zvoki očarljive glasbe, ponuja vrsto točk, v katerih akrobati uporabljajo pokrajino kot del svoje predstave. Lukas Berger je ujel eksotično, nenavadno vzdušje, polno energije.
Ever been to the circus? Maybe. Ever been to the circus in Ethiopia? Maybe not. The journey into the world of the Ethiopian Circus Debere, accompanied by notes of the most enchanting music, offers a series of numbers where the acrobats play with the landscape. An exotically alienating atmosphere, full of energy, captured by Lukas Berger.
