Documentary: Behind the fading spectacle of the circus

The purpose of this documentary is to shed light on the dying tradition of the Circus in India. For this, we have taken one of the oldest circuses in India, the Asiad Circus. In the past few years many major circuses - including Gemini Circus, Royal Circus, Rajkamal Circus and Oriental Circus -- have closed down. The Asiad is among the few major surviving ones, but is finding it increasingly hard to run the show. We want to understand the reason behind the decline in the circus’ fortunes, from the perspective of both performers and audiences.

Ever since I have seen the circus in childhood. I wanted to shoot such documentary. Such a fascinating act but only limited audience. It really bothered me.. and I just wanted to speak to them backstage. Amazing work ..simran
