At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when circuses shut down, Martin Barralle had to give up being a clown and work in IT. He was not happy.“It was two years of having a normal job,” he said. “I was building and repairing computers and I really didn’t like it.”
On Sunday, at Circus Latino’s current base at Taylors Lakes, in Melbourne’s north-west, Barralle got members of the crowd, of all ages, to catch popcorn with their mouths. Being a small circus, its acrobats, dancers, clowns, jugglers and trapeze artists also act as cleaners, roadies, costume curators, popcorn and ticket sellers.Ariel’s sisters Viviana and Maria perform trapeze and hula hoops, respectively, and their brother Gustavo walks the high wire. Ariel is a juggler and acrobat and rides a BMX bicycle in the ring of death.
In the 1990s, one circus he was in had three polar bears, three giraffes, 19 elephants, 20 tigers, seven lions, a black panther, a cheetah and various monkeys.
