Chapiteau, O Chapiteau! I Missed You So!

While it can be nice to perform in a theatre, there’s no denying that coming back to the Chapiteau is like coming back home. And the first run through sous Chapiteau would be one helluva homecoming!

Sure, it was nice to have all that room again, and it was nice to know where everything is, but the floor… the floor! Oh the glorious, flat, even, floor! After the abomination that was the floor in La Rochelle, the Chapiteau floor was like a little slice of heaven. My entire number, I had a smile up to my ears. I have never, ever, enjoyed doing German wheel as much as I did in that moment.

Pure bliss.

The rest of the show I think I just skipped around backstage praising the floor and hugging the technicians. Its moments like that that if feels really good to do what I do. The people are great, the conditions are great, the work is great. Sometimes circus is just beyond awesome.
