Circus Dannebrog

Circus. What a wonderful name, for something so charming. People gathered from different countries, who have practiced so hard, and have faced the difficulty of life, join together to travel through little Denmark over a summer. Charming, it really is. 

The traditional clown - denied by the leader, approved by the audience. Sang very good, and his playing on the trumpet was really, really lovely listening to. Did a lot of clumsy stuff, mostly enjoyable by the little ones - but also nice enough for us that aren't little kiddos. He was cute enough!

The elephant was also with them at times. 

All the animals - together! Now that was really something, very funny to see them. They seemed happy. It's incredible what they can teach them to do. The funniest must've been a lama jumping on two legs!

What's this thingy?

This part really was the best! 

All this happened pretty high up - damn, it was cool!!

There were also acrobatics in the air, on the ground, dancers, music, a guy spinning footballs on his fingers while moving around, a guy throwing small, white balls, at some drums, creating music - and a bit more. Fabulous. Love that they come to our little town every summer. I remember watching it when I was little once, but not sure if I have seen their show twice - well, now I have, at least. I can tell it is more modern, with all the music. 

It wasn't easy to shoot good photos - actually, most of them are snapshotted, as they were moving, I wasn't the close to the stage. So I took over 300 photos. Sheesh. Spend hours sorting a lot of photos tonight, so this'll be the best you get. I tried my best for setting up my camera right, played around with it a half hour before show started - but still, it was hard for them to turn out good, because their were smoke in the air. That's why they are a bit corny. 

Fact: 'Dannebrog' is the name of the danish flag. 

Love,
