Description:
A remarkable family of musical clowns, the Jandaschewskys arrived in Australia in 1900 from the circuses of Europe. Their original and eccentric performances entertained audiences on the vaudeville stage and in the circus ring until well into the 1950s. Circus! The Jandaschewsky Story tells this unique family's compelling story and traces the traditions and skills handed down through the generations. It is a tale of acrobats, clowns, musicians and dancers, of a father-and-son clowning team and two extraordinary women. Based on a unique collection of the family's costumes, photographs and props, this book provides a rare and personal insight into circus life and history, and enriches our understanding of contemporary clowning.
