"Our Circus" is a project in the town of Ouro Preto. The project rescues troubled kids and teens from a life of potential homelessness, crimes and prostitution. Using circus arts, they are taught the values of teamwork, citizenry and self-esteem.
The Clown introduces himself to the crowd at the year's-end spectacle.
The crowd cheers the juggler on, despite her fumble, as her toddler watches and learns. The small trapeze artist flies through the air like Peter Pan. As the show ends, the group exits the stage, proud of themselves for the performance they put on for the small crowd.
