Circus in coyoacan

My name is Josue and one of the places that I like the most is the circus. I’m happy
because the Atayde Hermanos’ Circus is now in Coyoacan! Circo Atayde is
perhaps the oldest family owned continuously operating circus in the world. The
circus started its performances in 1888. Today the circus is highly respected
among the circus community.

There are many spectacular attractions! There is César, the most handsome horse
trainer. He is elegant and loves posing with his horses. I also enjoy Gerardo’s act.
He is one of the bravest men in the world, he is the lion tamer. He usually puts his
head inside of a lion’s mouth.

The performers include acrobats, trapeze acts, musicians, and jugglers among
others. One of the most common and loved acts is the one of Victor’s. He is the
best equilibrist. His act includes plate spinning and the rolling globe. Another
performer is Lupita, the contortionist. She is the most flexible woman. She can
touch her feet with her nose. There is a very good act. It is the most exiting act.
James is the human cannon ball. He is put into a cannon and is shot across the
circus ring into a safety net. The tallest man is Jaime. He is the stilt walker. His
stilts are three meters high and he can walk very fast. Then, the clowns come out.
They make the audience laugh. They are the funniest clowns in the world. At the
end of the show everybody is happy. However, this is the saddest day in my life.
This is probably the last performance of Circo Atayte. One of the most popular
circus may not open anymore.
