    CIRCUS ANIMALS "EARN MONEY" DURING THE BREAKS

    A1+
    [12:19 pm] 31 October, 2006

    Our general imagination of the Yerevan circus is formed the moment
    the ticket-collector nervously tears the tickets of the audience. Then
    follows the hustle and bustle and endless queue.

    The circus administration has been concerned about the reconstruction
    of the arena since the Soviet times.

    They hung various multi-colored balloons from the ceiling in attempt
    to make the general atmosphere more attractive. Neither the orchestra
    nor its site has changed. The only change we fixed immediately was
    that recorded music was switched on during the breaks to entertain
    the audience.

    The show was to start at 5 p.m. but it was cancelled for half an
    hour because of the hawkers. One can buy anything he wishes inside
    the building - from food to toys.

    finally, the show started. It was announced that besides the Armenian
    entertainers and performers there would also be guests from Russia
    and Ukraine. The start was promising. The Ukrainian equilibrist Gayane
    greatly impressed the audience.

    But the second performer's attempts to roll five loops at a time
    were doomed to failure. The loops kept falling all the time. When the
    assistant gave her 25 loops, she made great efforts to roll them at
    least twice but in vain.

    The continuation was still worse.

    The appearance of the animals on the arena was completely spoiled. The
    horses made such an impression as if they were in the circus for the
    first time. One of them even tried to hit one of the front sitters.

    At that moment someone shouted from the audience, "We had better go
    to the zoo instead of the circus and watch the animals as long as we
    wished. Then there was a break for 15 minutes.

    The performers earned 500AMD per a circle on a "trained"
    horseback. Soon a large queue was formed, and the administration
    added the time of the break for another fifteen minutes.

    P.S.

    We shall try to find out from the circus administration in the nearest
    future what factors such a low-quality show was determined by and
    what problems the Yerevan State Circus faces nowadays.
