Though I don’t really remember it because I was so young, I went with my parents to see the Barnum and Bailey circus. At that time (because it was like 2007), there were still elephants. I’m sure it was so awesome to see these elephants performing these giant and spectacular acts, but I’m also sure the treatment of these animals wasn’t kind. Now that there aren’t animals, the focus has shifted to technology, which is so interesting! I really like that this company is reshaping it to give the audience a completely new experience. The circus in itself is fun and exciting and nostalgic, but I definitely think they will be able to appeal to a new audience by shaping it to use technology. And, at the circus when someone is on a tight rope 50 feet high in the air, no matter what, you are going to be feeling the feeling of thrill.
