were these acrobats and aerialists and dancers somehow different from cirque du soleil?
Cirque du soleil are the marvel universe movies of the circus arts world.

yeah, i think there is a definitely an olde-tyme acrobatic circus thing going on now a la swing revival/roller derby/cabaret/gypsy jazz. these guys are near me. small but fun for the whole family and no sad animals. lots of summer circus camps for kids.

The old-timeyness of it is tiresome but I'm not gonna lie I would be mesmerized.

a circus came to my town when i was a kid. just set up in a field off of route 7. it was amazing to me that they could just show up and do that. it wasn't like a carnival or fair. it was an actual circus just like the old days.

In the bottom row, I wonder what was so "freakish" about the first, second, third, and fifth person from the right? Gangster? Moor? Dominatrix? Suffragette?
