The Circus on the edge is not one complete city, but a constantly moving and fleeting fragment of such. Acting as an agent for change, it provides both a dynamic system for the production of new urban and cultural space, seemingly disintegrating and connecting at once, and cultures of the local and global, those real and not so real, in an instant. The reciprocal relationship between Circus and everyday life becomes a state where society can negotiate its own future. Located primarily in evacuated fields found in the three cities the Circus on the edge makes do with what it finds, enveloping and adapting found structures, resources and technologies to infiltrate, innovate and construct space for community, as well as community itself, in unusual and provisional ways.
