For more than 40 years, the circus center in Julinek used to employ up to 1500 staff workers including artists, circus school teachers, technicians and others. The circus city was built in the middle of Kampinoski National Park 30 km from Warsaw. Due to financial problems, the center was closed almost 10 years ago. The huge area emptied. The circus city was slowly dying. The photographer Rafal Milach invited a few retired circus atists to take their portraits at the place where some of them had been working for over 30 years.
