Awesome! It's less a book that you "read" and more one that you "reference" anyway! 😊

Have you had the chance to read "The Society of the Spectacle" by Guy Debord? It's a more philosophical read, but it immediately came to mind when I heard about the circus and theater. The way Debord explores the notion of spectacle and its impact on society is truly thought-provoking. One of my favourite reads. It's impressive how one can navigate through all this circus stuff alone.

You know what, I have not read that, but I think I had heard of his work from others in my program who are working with it! I have to put this on my reading list for sure.
