It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.īut behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway-a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements.
