    Documenting the Women & Circus conference that took place within the auspices of the fifth edition of Croatia's Festival Novog Cirkusa this weighty book has dual language (English and Crotian) transcripts of talks given by the likes of Valérie Fratellini, Rose English, Peta Tait and others (as well as edited records of some of their Q&A sessions), clocking in at a little more than 500 pages. It's a rare example of a serious (English language) book on circus and it retrospectively supports an important action, plus if you can't stomach Derrida it's illuminated by a great many full colour photographs taken from contemporary productions and dredged from the deepest archives.

    Softcover book / 540 pages / colour photographs
