Zirkus Sperlich in Weissenberg.flv

The first project circus in East Germany, Circus Andre Sperlich, makes a stop in Weißenberg - Preschool children from the daycare centers in Weißenberg and Wurschen, as well as students from the elementary and secondary schools, had the opportunity to experience being a performer during a circus project week organized by the Weißenberg Daycare & School Support Association with the first project circus in East Germany, led by Andre Sperlich. Unlike traveling participatory circuses, in this type of circus, the professional performers take a backseat, allowing the young stars to shine. In just two days – from Tuesday, March 23rd to Wednesday, March 24th, 2010 – children from the aforementioned Weißenberg institutions were transformed by the circus staff into acrobats, clowns, fire-eaters, fakirs, and dove or goat trainers. Rehearsals took place everywhere, in the school buildings as well as in the gymnasium. ... To give the children an idea of ​​what they would later be performing independently, the circus family gave a free demonstration on Tuesday morning. The roles to be filled and the three performances on Friday and Saturday demanded the utmost precision and concentration.
