Abstract

The article discusses the reimagining of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus, which has transitioned to an animal-free format featuring high-energy performances such as highwire acts, trapeze artists, and BMX stunts. Feld Entertainment, the circus's owner, has planned a North American tour starting in September 2023, with performances across multiple states. The new production emphasizes innovative technology and audience engagement, aiming to create a unique live entertainment experience. This transformation follows a decline in ticket sales and public concern over animal treatment, leading to the removal of animal acts and a focus on enhancing the circus's appeal through creativity and fun.
