What similarities do you see between a circus arenas, and a theater of ancient Greece? All three are the ancestors of the architectural forms of theater today. At Amiens in 1874, the first wooden circus is created. And it was so successful that ten years later, a circus stone is built the same location on the Place du Cirque wood. So why do we call Circus Jules Verne? This requires an ideological question the value of the circus. For besides the fact that Jules Verne was adopted for many years by Amiens, these writings are similar to the definition of the circus. The circus is emotion, great show, art in risk appetite. Like adventurers of his novels go under the Earth, the oceans rise and balloon up to the clouds ... The building of a thousand lights and bright colors is a call for children, the festive, dazzling performances and dreamlike.
