Circus arts

It goes in all directions, left, right, then up, down. And up and down again. With all these comings and goings, all these objects, each more unusual than the last, you can't help but wonder: "What's all this mess? What kind of circus is this?" Well, this whole circus is just that... a circus! A real one. Well, almost: it's a circus school, already 27 years old, located behind the Brunstatt town hall. It's a place where you can see kids straining for scarves of all colors. You have to throw them, but above all you have to catch them. And it's no easy task! They end up catching them on the head, but don't seem to be (and that's the main thing!). Some girls walk on balls, others on trapezes. Some seem to have a thing for... masks. As for the shy ones, all it takes is a red nose to stop them turning red! The teachers juggle several groups of kids, but above all they juggle with them to pass on their passion for the circus through the Arsène association, which is, above all, a story of friends and a wonderful human adventure. Here, working on balance on pedal boats - skateboards - has never made children so... balanced! A true paradise for young and old alike... who still have the soul of a child.
