First of all, it has the level: 'under the Big Top', three rings, beautiful women, animals, horses, glitter, feats of daring-do, and it's rapidly moving and catching your eye. But beneath all that the circus is mysterious. It's erotic. It's dark. The lives of the performers away from the lights are very complicated. It's an old tradition of an out-class group, rooted in nomadism and magic." -Terrence McKenna.
