For Sideshow's money potentially one of the most interesting events in the Roundhouse's CircusFest programme, Circus on the Couch is a lecture presentation (though likely one with performative elements) of director/artist/academic John-Paul Zaccarini's PhD research into 'circoanalysis' – his own combination of circus, psychoanalysis, ethnology and phenomenology. For more on circoanalysis and John-Paul's work see Sideshow's interview.
