Tell the story of Ciru Raluy through the portraits of his characters. The circus, that place of dreams where its magic penetrated the innocent eyes of children, and in which the world of fantasy was possible, and made spectators forget their daily hardships. His characters, nomads full of talent and art, remain in our memory. We all have in our memories those images of the carts on the road or the assembly and disassembly of the tent. Graciela the trapeze artist of this circus is the main character of this story and around her the rest of its members are emerging. Manuel Capón in this work has managed to materialize these childhood memories in a careful black and white photographs that convey to the viewer the emotions of the shot and make him evoke his own childhood experiences.
