An atmospheric, fragmented view of the world of entertaining, pleasing a crowd and 'spectacle'. Through degrading the film image and creating a sensuous new digital image, we see the strain of a young circus performer sustaining the perfect smile. To perform is to create reaction and sustaining professionalism no matter what.
