About the Book
Spanning Eastern Europe, Central Asia and beyond, this book documents seventeen Soviet-era circus buildings as they exist today. Some remain active performance venues; others are undergoing restoration following a period of neglect. Together, they reveal a lesser-known chapter of postwar modernist architecture shaped by ideology and mass entertainment.
Through striking photographs and insightful narratives, the first part of Cirk explores the history and architecture of these landmark buildings. The second half of the book contains five illustrated paper models that readers can press out and assemble to re-create selected circus structures. All you need is glue.
Includes 5 press-out circus models to assemble:
Bishkek > Kyrgyz State Circus
Chișinău > Chișinău State Circus
Dnipro > Dnipro State Circus
Moscow > Great Moscow State Circus
Tashkent > Tashkent State Circus
