The Circus Bazaar Company is dedicated to cataloguing and presenting the peculiarities of our world through highly innovative media production and publishing. Founded in 2012 as an online magazine, today we are an internationally recognised media production and publishing house. Our film and theatrical productions have been seen by millions, and Circus Bazaar Magazine is distributed and stocked across the world.
With registered entities in Norway, Australia, and the United States, we specialise in providing our customers with highly ambitious and creative projects. These projects leverage our unique perspective in a way only the spectacle of the traditional circus can achieve.
The Circus Bazaar Company stands at the intersection of traditional forms of creativity and modern technologies. Here, we push the boundaries of storytelling and education to engage, inspire, and sometimes shock audiences worldwide.

PARASITOID
Governments under the neoliberal veil have become janitors for tech billionaires. When the state can’t or won’t pay to clean up, the mess falls to citizen-consumers, who become wards of disorder by default. The growing disorder engenders yet greater dependence on the magic dust of big tech, even as the detritus it produces grows on the vines of democracy everywhere. How did this happen? And what would it take to subvert?

Ladies and Gentlemen, Children of all Ages.
All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women are merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts.
The circus has always represented the daring, the colourful and the seemingly impossible. But it is also the cruel, the dangerous and the sadistic.
What is then the human realm if not a circus?
Welcome to Circus Bazaar!
