INFORMATION<br />
ThE Show DE L’oUEST<br />

After <strong>the</strong> conquest, this hero of <strong>the</strong> Wild West found himself sud<strong>de</strong>nly unemployed, and <strong>de</strong>ci<strong>de</strong>d to<br />
form a show that would go on to tour America and travel to Europe, spreading <strong>the</strong> myth of <strong>the</strong> West.<br />
The shows re-enacted historic but already legendary events and scenes from <strong>the</strong> Wild West, such<br />
as <strong>the</strong> battles between <strong>the</strong> white man and Indians, and stagecoach robberies, as well as scenes<br />
from <strong>the</strong> Indian's and pioneer's everyday lives. The circus ma<strong>de</strong> actual characters from history<br />
play <strong>the</strong>mselves: famous Indians such as Geronimo and Sitting Bull, as well as Calamity Jane<br />
and various o<strong>the</strong>r characters from <strong>the</strong> Wild West. The show was based around re-enactments and<br />
embodied an America that invented its own legend almost as events happened. Is this characteristic<br />
of a "people without history" (Gertru<strong>de</strong> Stein)? This example of pragmatism also bears witness to an<br />
entrepreneurial spirit that was in some aspects wild.
