Description Count to ten and then open your eyes: the ballerina, the lion and the trapeze artist, the monkey, the fire-eater and the clown, the scent of bananas, time flying, yellow, yellow polka dots, a circus on the outskirts. The story of a small provincial circus, with all its grotesque characters; the story of all our childhoods; the story of a fruit that has become a symbol of a historical era, one defined by art and pop culture. Banana Circus is an olfactory and gustatory memory that takes each of us back to a personal recollection of our own youth. 

Reminiscent of the scent of bananas.
The '80s and the small-town circus.
A ride on the carousel in the summer and the first kiss at sixteen.
Round and round…
