The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it, no paper notices on downtown lampposts and billboards.It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. No ringmaster bellows through a bullhorn, no clowns spray water on the audience, no "step right up" to the strong man.Within these nocturnal black and white striped tents, lies an utterly unique experience, a feast for the senses, where one can get lost in a maze of clouds, meander through a lush garden made of ice, stand awestruck as the tattooed contortionist folds herself into a small glass box, and gaze in wonderment at the illusionist performing impossible feats of magic (all suffused with the underlying scents of caramel and cinnamon).Welcome to Le Cirque des R ves.
