Numbers with big cats are a staple of the traditional Circus. Although this type of number is represented in circuses all over the world, it’s very rare that the trainer and performer in the ‘cage’ is a woman. Elizabetta Bizzarro, Italian and a member of one of Italy’s most renowned Circus families, presents an elegant number with four lions. The number of lions in this number is a deliberate choice of the performer, who likes to establish a more personal and intense rapport with each of her working companions. The resulting feel of the number comes from the exclusive use of the technique of “positive reinforcement” during all phases of training. Photo courtesy of the City of Latina Circus Festival.
