" The circus is the lving depository of certain of the most ancient arts of civilization. Through it, man continues to communicate with animals and with some of the higher powers lying within the normal aptitudes of the species, which, for this reason, is endowed in our eyes with supernatural prestige. We can congratulate ourselves that Professor Bouissac, who has been himself a man of the circus, has had at the same time the intellectual capacity and the literary talent required to elaborate a theory which has always been lacking and which this book presents in a particularly brilliant manner." -- Claude Levi-Strauss

1874In 4° (24,5×17 cm); foglio volante. Esemplare in ottime condizioni di conservazione. Il foglio riporta le attrazioni che avrebbero accolto il pubblico al teatro Brunetti di Bologna il 29 dicembre del 1874. “Detta lotta verrà presenziata da un Giurì. Il Bortoletti avverte che dal canto suo non sortirà dal Teatro se non vincitore o vinto e nel caso che uno dei lottatori si rifiutasse per stanchezza od altro alla continuazione della Lotta, verrà considerato perditore”. Lo spettacolo fu una delle prime rappresentazioni in Italia di quella disciplina che aveva iniziato a prender piedi in vari spettacoli circensi itineranti americani, proprio in quegli anni, il Wrestling. Oltre allo spettacolo di lotta saranno rappresentati una “Graziosissima Pantomiama giocata dalle due Maschere di Arlecchino e Pierrot. Farà seguito a questa una quantità di Giuochi di Ginnastica e Danze. Chiuderà il trattenimento colla storica e spettacolosa pantomima “L’assassinio della Famiglia Kinck”. Rarità.
