With Circus Helvetia, 50th anniversary

Yves Leresche

Cirque Helvetia is the last remaining circus in French-speaking Switzerland. Listed as part of the Vaud canton's heritage since 2012, it also tours mountain resorts. The photographer's sensitive and documentary approach to this institution of a disappearing world will contribute to the preservation and promotion of this living circus, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025.
