Apparently the oldest footage of circus online (Shame about the music.. There is another version posted on youtube by Charlie Holland which is minus the techno music I believe, but I couldn’t embed it here). Some really nice Acrobatic Moves and Icarian Games. Can’t find much more info about the troupe…. but I haven’t looked very hard if I’m honest, if anyone finds out any more info, post a comment below.
