Sugarcane, Coati and Monowheel(2014)

Sugarcane, Coati and Monowheel Synopsis

Nearly everybody has been to the circus to laugh about clowns, be afraid of the lions and to eat sugar cane. However, can anyone imagine that circus artists reside right there in the circus building - above the arena in the second floor hotel rooms - where they also prepare meals, do their laundry and try out their magic tricks? For over 125 years, despite the discomfort of non-renovated premises and ubiquitous animal odor, local and foreign circus artists follow their routine to create the circus miracle. Sugarcane, Coati and Monowheel is a film about those who dwell in Riga Circus and about what happens outside the arena before and after meeting audience under the circus dome.

Sugarcane, Coati and Monowheel (2014) is a documentary film directed by Līga Gaisa, released on November 5, 2014 with a runtime of 26m.
