CIRCUS ANIMALS “EARN MONEY” DURING THE BREAKS

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.
