Summary

Through Aestheticism:The story happens within a circus in Paris within the 1970’s. (…) A lot is made from the romance of the circus atmosphere, of traveling through the air on a trapeze, etc etc. Think cirque right here, not circus. We’re carrying out Old World riffs within the romance and tawdriness from the ring. There are no elephants in tutus walking on the hind legs; it’s slit-eyed jugglers and daring death-loving trapeze artists and sad Pierrot clowns, even if the Pierrot clown – our hero, Torinosu, ‘Bird’s Nest’ – includes a false red nose. The particular tawdriness comes from the festival master pimping out their performers to anyone ready to pay. (…) Plus there’s tanbi decadence – ghosts who wander in to the action looking like teenaged young ladies even if they’re the hero’s brother, and abandoned neurotic women with a thing to get inflicting pain, plus buracon and possible murder and unspoken pining and a leading man who looks about to die at any moment from airport terminal angst.
