10 - the Carny & the Circus Princess

We try to understand what this special carnival is, what's its nature? It is not your regular down and out collection of rides and crooked, rigged carnival games. One way of looking at it is by comparing it to Plato's Theory of Ideas. We also take a look at the real world inspiration that lead me towards the idea that the carnival would be a fertile place for our mythopoetic seeds to grow. This place was a homegrown carnival Showgrounds in Adelaide, South Australia called the Garden of Unearthly Delights. So come with me on a journey to better grasp the nature of the Mythopoetic Carnival. Show notes:The Space CowboyPlato's Theory of Ideas or FormsNancy Rommelmann's article: Lives of the CarniesGarden of Unearthly Delights - The nature of this garden has changed now from the pioneer days, but its still amazing.The Happy Sideshowthe Tiny TopTrent "Birdmann" BaumannCaptain Frodo's Can Balance - Follow Your dreamsCircus Princess - The concept is well known throughout Scandinavia and as this link shows has made it into the danish dictionary.Support the show...After a long abscence our Merch Shop is back!
