“For me, the circus is a magic show that appears and disappears like a world. A circus is disturbing. It is profound.” 

—Marc Chagall

Ringling Bro’s Barnum & Bailey Circus: Out of this World was the final production of its 147 year history. Working as Josh Zangen’s associate in our tiny New York City studio, we dreamt up a universe in which this circus would exist. We didn’t know it was going to be the final production and looking back at it now, it brings me profound gratitude to have been able to contribute to the immense history of the circus.
