Yesterday we started with a workshop for 17 children, between 3 and 10 years old. At the beginning of the war, these Hungarian-speaking children fled with their families from Ukraine, where they belong to one of the many minority groups. We sang, danced, played theater games and learned circus tricks that they showed to others later in the day. In the afternoon a show was scheduled for them and 100 others. However, the buses that should have brought them had dropped them off at the wrong address. Clowns normally embrace accidents, but this was very unfortunate. We tried to fill the time while we waited for them, but at a certain point it was decided from above that they would not come anymore and that the show could begin. Fortunately, some other people showed up, including a number of people with physical limitations who also received an initiation into a number of circus techniques after the show. It was a great day full of fun games, new experiences and lots of smiling children!
