Circus Rosaire

Traditional circuses might be a dying art, but the members of the Rosaire family are holding the line. Descended from nine generations of circus animal trainers, the Rosaires were born with sawdust in their veins. At the height of their fame, they headlined shows for kings, presidents and legions of fans with their spectacular feats. Today they are struggling to survive in a business that is rapidly disappearing. As declining audiences and fewer gigs begin to add up, the Rosaire’s livelihood and future are at risk as they attempt to carry on the family tradition. Filmed over a five-year period, CIRCUS ROSAIRE is both heartbreaking and hilarious as it takes an intimate, behind the scenes inside this quintessential circus family.
