Abstract

This book is an exhibitionism of thoughts, feelings, lived experiences, pertaining to the intersection between metamodernism and circus. Following The Metamodern Circus that took place on 26 May 2023 in Cardiff (UK), participants came together to reflect upon and document their impressions of metamodern circus, sharing the love for the fantastical, the spectacular, and our attachment to what is really real.
