Almost nightly, I drive past the big tent set up in the Festplatz and I am just astounded by the giant, illuminated hemispheres, hoops, that are part of the support structure for the big top. I wonder if such things as circuses and carnivals were not exactly left behind in terms of applying technology and generating aesthetical wonderment. A grubby old disco with a decent sound-system and DJ can be as good as any fancy, sleek establishment, but there are definitely more accessible lighting and pyrotechnic options and arcade effects. I wonder what progress has been made in the three-ring-arena. I have not been to a circus in ages, satisfied that they are only good for tragic headlines, wild beasts going amok, and scary clown nightmare fuel, but maybe now there is something more dazzling to see. I am nearly tempted to go and see the lion-tamer perform on the equivalent of a LED dancefloor.
