Nobody can imagine a circus without horses, elephants, monkeys, and lions. But recently, Circus Roncalli has changed the tradition, swapping flesh and blood for holograms, and the shows were outstanding.
Circus Roncalli entertaining people with its animal shows since 1976 but recently has decided to change the tradition to fight against animal cruelty in the industry.
People still saw tusks and tails, fiery circles and acrobats, in the shows. But, for the very first time, none of the animals were real. Roncalli wanted to create 3D holographic images from projectors while filling the arena measuring 32 meters (105 feet) wide and 5 meters (16 feet) deep with 360° visibility for the entire audience.
Roncalli’s agency TAG/TRAUM with Bluebox partnered with Optoma, and 11 ZU850 laser projectors were installed for an outstanding holographic experience.
Birger Wunderlich at Bluebox said, “We have been using Optoma projectors for 6 years and have consistently had a very positive experience in price, performance, and reliability. We needed a high contrast projector with great colors for the 3D effect and the ZU850’s 2,000,000:1 contrast is perfect for this project.”
The impressive move was done in support of animals after worldwide concerns about animals cruelty and they live much of their lives under horrible conditions in captivity.
Activists have found and accused many circuses of beating, starving and keeping their animals in unsanitary conditions while they perform for large crowds.
In the UK, for example, legislation is before the government which would ban traveling circuses from using wild animals from 2020.
