Circo-Fantazztico (2010)

The documentary film "Circo Fantazztico" deals with the socio-cultural significance of a circus with children, granting an insight into the everyday life of circus children in Costa Rica as well as during their tour across Europe. A new opus from the film-maker Carola Mair who filmed the young artists on their way in San Isidro, Costa Rica, Seligenstadt/Germany, Barcelona/Spain and Linz/Austria. The focus of this filmic documentation lies on the young Viennese woman Alexandra Graf who has been managing the children's circus for a couple of years now, as well as on the girl Alexandra Gonzales Campos from Costa Rica working as an artist. Together with other eighteen artists and sixteen volunteers from Europe and Latin America the circus went on tour for two months in Western Europe.
