EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a tragic rehearsal in the death circle at the Teatro Price in Madrid. The color litho print, created by Achille Beltrame, showcases a heart-stopping moment during a circus performance that took place on Sunday, 7 February 1904. In the image, we see a daring daredevil on his motorbike performing an incredible trick within the stadium's circular arena. The crowd watches with bated breath as he speeds around the circle, showcasing his fearless skills and defying gravity. However, tragedy strikes as something goes terribly wrong. The atmosphere is filled with panic and fear as the motorcycle driver loses control of his vehicle. The audience erupts into screams and dramatic expressions of shock as they witness this horrific accident unfold before their eyes. It is clear that this unexpected turn of events has resulted in tragedy and even death. The composition of this photograph perfectly captures the chaos and intensity of the moment. From the crowded stands to the shape of terror-stricken faces in every direction, it conveys both motion and stillness simultaneously. Beltrame's illustration serves as a haunting reminder of how quickly life can change within seconds. This powerful image invites viewers to reflect on themes such as risk-taking, mortality, and our fascination with danger in entertainment forms like circuses.
