Beautiful work!!
Looking different kinds of blog on the internet, I found one which is really special!
Ricardo Marins is a brasilian guy who loves circus since he was 10 years old. Also, he loves drawing, building little replicas and art.
When he was 16 years old, he watched "Saltimbancos", and had the great ideia: to make a Cirque du Soleil´s replica.
He did a great job! When "Alegria" was in Brazil, the first maquete stayed on the backstage and now it is in Montreal! The second he´s just presented to Quidam!
Here you have some pictures, enjoy this beautiful work!

Well done Ricardo!! Good Luck!
