A Hungarian message rang out in circuses around the world for World Circus Day, announced the Capital Circus of Budapest.
April 19 was World Circus Day, the most significant international celebration of circus arts. On this occasion, Péter Fekete, Director General of the National Center for Circus Arts, shared a message addressed to all Hungarian and international circus artists as a gesture of respect and recognition.
The Jászai Mari Award-winning and Meritorious Artist said that
the circus ring is “a sacred place, a sanctuary of miracles made possible through human will, perseverance, and mutual attention. A place where hard work, determination, and the unbreakable unity of a team bring forth wonder.”
He added that differences are left outside of this circle. This is a place “where a brown-skinned person stands on a white shoulder, a Muslim supports a Christian, where a Ukrainian helps a Russian. There are no giants or dwarfs here, only effort and determination. Mutual respect. Complementing each other.”
He pointed out that hundreds come to see these circus shows and wonder: “Is it really possible? Without hatred, conflict, or war. Helping one another, trusting each other completely,” Fekete continued in his message. “With sweat poured together and shared, liberated smiles. With clenched teeth and explosive applause. Is it really possible? Yes, it is!”
World Circus Day has been celebrated on the third Saturday of April every year since 2007. Until 2010, it was marked as European Circus Day, but since then it has become a global event, commemorated by traveling and permanent circuses, independent new circus companies, and circus artists, workers, and fans all around the world.
