Palestinian Mobile Circus
In the first days of July 2013 a group of young palestinians and french circus artists was travelling trough Palestine, playing a new circus show in several cities of West Bank. It's a project in partnership between the Palestinian Circus School of Birzeit, near Ramallah, and Le Lido - Centre Municipal des Arts du Cirque de Toulouse.
Circus in Palestine is something new; at the end of the shows, palestinians children didn't believe that 14 of the artists were palestinians too, as it seems unbelievable that palestinians could do something so new.
It has been an integration event: the integration was in this group of young living, enjoying and creating together, talking and popularising a new art and a new language. Integration was in the pride of young palestinians to be as professional as the europeans artists and in their pride to introduce them in their country and in his difficult situation.
This event was part of a process of a cultural and educational growth for a country – or a land – that lives a really abnormal condition and wish to be normal.
