Read this Circus Talk article (in English) on the rise of denunciations in the circus community, which clearly demonstrates the prevalence of abuse. It gives a voice to circus artists who open up and share their experiences in a moving way.
It should be noted that there are resources on the En Piste website made available to the circus community, including the contact details for L’Aparté, the single point of contact against harassment and violence in the cultural sector, a webinar from L’Aparté, training sessions, and other useful legislative resources and psychological support organizations.
En Piste will also hold two confidential clinics. The first, which will take place on Tuesday, August 25, will be for artists and workers. There will also be a second clinic, on Thursday, September 3, for company and school leaders. More details on these clinics and how to register will be revealed shortly.
