Same Circus Different Tent

The Unusual Suspects
Fredrik Akermark

“When the show is over and the tent is packed, the elephants,
lions and dancing poodles are caged and mounted
on trucks to caravan to the next town. The clown’s makeup has worn,
and his bright, red smile has been washed down a sink.
All that is left is another performance, another tent and set of lights.

We rest in the knowledge: the show must go on.”

The Prisoner

Melancholoic side of a clown
Birgit Friebel

“Ester asked why people are sad.
"That’s simple," says the old man.
"They are the prisoners of their personal history.
Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan.
They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person.
They accumulate experiences, memories, things,
other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with.

And that is why they forget their dreams.”
