The drama occurred on Friday, in a circus in Bautzen, Germany. A 27 -year -old Spanish trapezista fell during public representation. She did not survive this autumn of 5 meters. The accident occurred on Saturday, September 28, reports the German magazine Stern, which specifies that one hundred people attended the show, including families with children. This is the first fatal accident in a circus in Germany for 40 years.
“The emergency intervention team was immediately deployed and dealt with the spectators and other circus employees,” said Stern, spokesman for the Local Police, cited by Stern.
“Well trained”
The young artist, Marina Barcelo, performed at the Paul Busch Circus. She was from Mallorca, according to the Spanish newspaper El Pais. Passionate about the circus since the age of 16, she was not from a circus family.
“Acrobats take risks that calculate and evaluate themselves. But they are aware of it,” Ralf Huppertz said to Stern, president of the German Association of Companies of German circuses, believing that the young Spanish acrobat with “had to be very unfortunate or find an obstacle.” For him, five meters is not, for an acrobat, a “particularly high height.” “They are well trained and muscular.”
Paul Busch Circus has canceled all its representations, according to “psychologically incapable” employees, according to Ralf Huppertz, to continue the shows.
“Artists risk their lives”
“What is beautiful in the circus is that every day, it is likely that artists from all over the world achieve increasingly difficult things. It is magical, but sometimes, the things that should never happen,” said the country, Aleix Gómez, head of the Historic Raluy Historical Historical Track, who rubbed his shoulders with Marina Bartelo in 2019.
Police have opened an investigation to determine the causes of the accident, but they have not yet found evidence of negligence.
