Senegal Acrobats Defy Cultural Norms to Pursue Circus Passions

Senegal has a small but ambitious circus. It began as a local association offering arts and acrobatics workshops to disadvantaged kids from poor neighborhoods around the capital. The circus troupe has grown from there and now performs abroad, though some of the acrobats continue to face resistance from their families. Chika Oduah reports for VOA from Dakar.
