Buuuuuuuuuuurn!

You’ve undoubtedly heard of rope burn and carpet burn. And then of course there’s mat burn and razor burn. But did you know there’s such a thing as couscous burn?

I certainly didn’t, but I do now. There’s nothing like the perils of circus to open your eyes to the many ways you can hurt yourself.

There’s this one part of the show where couscous falls from the ceiling* and it just gets everywhere. Soon after, I roll around on the floor and needless to say, it ain’t always pretty.

Ew.

That being said... 

Seriously?

Couscous?

Seriously? 

Quel vie de cirque...





* Don't ask. It's artistic.
