Description
Synopsis:
The Brazilian circus artist Rogério Piva travels all over the country in his small but eye-catching orange car. Having devoted himself to street art, he only performs in small villages, where the inhabitants have never seen a circus. He never asks for an entrance fee and rarely stays anywhere longer than a day. The most important thing for him is freedom. Rogério loves his work and believes in his mission – to give people art, to talk to them about social problems, or at least to change their lives a little. But he is not just an artist – he is also a person who, just like everyone else, sometimes needs love, respect and just to rest.
