In the 2021 film "Zirkus, Circus, Cirque" we encounter a colorful international circus scene of the late 1970s in Berlin; including, among others, Cirque Gruess from France, Circus Barum from Germany, the Swiss clown Dimitri and the unique circus performances of the group Neue Musik Berlin. The program concludes with recordings of the "Varieté Varieté" of the Tübingen Zimmertheater, directed by Helfried Foron and based on plans and sketches by Oskar Schlemmer.
In addition, questions of animal husbandry and circus management are highlighted and the long tradition of the circus is discussed.
