After five years of what seemed to be pointless and hasty traveling, 1899 eventually dawned on the world and the cleverness of Arthur Kirkland was exposed. At the right moment, he became part of the Golden Age of spectacles of seemingly bright colour and a great mess. With a tip of his top hat and a sway of his hand in front of growing crowds, Mr. Kirkland exposed the talent. Having followed him from different parts of the world, people perform at their own expense after accepting the extended hand.
Hardly a family man, Mr. Kirkland keeps little control over what goes on between his workers. A few people sprouted into their own little groups, not being completely trusting of the man. Despite needing something to do with their lives, some watch others with suspicion and yet insist on not leaving with suspicions being confirmed. Having to sleep right beside each other every passing night, actually not sleeping, there is minimum trust. People go as far as wishing their employer dead and secretly plan on it.
So what awaits you in this far from safe experience? The death of Arthur Kirkland? The impending failure of the circus' performance? Well -- not quite, not yet. As of now, these possibilities are too far off into the future for anyone to guess. But there is the family environment as you are welcomed to join the family and interact in so many places. Where are you when you open that bottle of red wine late at night? Paris? Madrid? Why are you standing under the rain in London? Is it too cold to be outside in Vilnius? That is up to you - but like it or not, you are with the family. Perhaps you will hear rumours, and perhaps you will unravel secrets hidden just beneath your nose.
So what do you say? Will you accept our extended hand and join us?
Welcome to the most perilous show on earth.
