CARNIVAL CUSTOMS

Every day, performers offer part of themselves to the tent.

· A drop of blood before breakfast.

· A coin in the Mouth of the Crowd.

· A kiss to a mirror that never shows you.

They rehearse until bone splinters. They dance until their feet scream. And when they rest? They don’t. Because dreams belong to the tent too.
