The question of the origin of the universe has always obsessed peoples. From imagination to science, from science to imagination, the modern time discovered the infinites at the same moment when those who were looking for the truth were burned. The understanding of the world would be an endless circle, a back and forth between the need to know and the need to dream. Ambrosini mixes faces and voices, sometimes human, sometimes mythological or fair monsters. Between reality and delirium Big Bang Circus reconciles our sources in one circus in a shape of a question mark.
