Egypt, the National Circus

In 1966, the Egyptian President Nasser, created what has become a national circus, which until today is a 'unique' experience in the Arab countries. The artists formed during the Ex-Soviet Union reign alongside the national circus, appearing all around the world; until the Mubarak regimen stopped funding their needs. Egypt adhered & eventually transformed from a socialist imposition to a neo-liberal system & from a socialist party appearing to be a democratic one. Today this national circus, nevertheless represents the most important driving force in terms of earnings in the Arts & Crafts sector, stated by the Cultural affairs minister, which has been completely ignored and which could shut down.
