Circus act with disabled performers reclaiming the term 'freak show'

"Freak shows" used to be a popular pastime in Victorian times where people with "unusual" or "different" bodies would be shown off and exploited for the benefit of an audience. But a circus act featuring disabled artists is hoping to reclaim the term. Cirque Bijou, a circus company based in Bristol, includes disabled and non-disabled artists, and their current project Extraordinary Bodies invites the audience to think about different kinds of bodies and how they look.
