I like the word Cirque, but I also like Joie de l'été. Maybe Cirque du Joie, which I hope translates to Circus of Joy? I know, not that original xD

Alegria’s Cirque Fixe
meaning “fixed circus” in two significances: fixed, as in repaired — right now the park is in something of a disarray, but will hopefully be patched up once we clean up all the rubbish, and fixed in the definition of stationary: Alegria promises you won’t have to chase the elusive circus because she is keeping it in one place open to all.

Le cirque du deuxième œuf
meaning “the circus of the second egg”. this one’s kind of a stretch, but in this case egg has two symbolic values: to represent the site, and as a metaphor for chance, sort of like the phrase “putting all the eggs in one basket.” the first egg was Alegria’s first chance — but it cracked when she injured herself and her time with the circus was over. however, here is her second chance, a rebirth of what was, if you will — she gets to hang out with her friends, and if not do what she loves, be as close to it as possible.

really goofy and likely horrendous in terms of french spelling and grammar but thanks for reading !


I love both ideas, although I like the first name better.

I like the play of words with cirque - I laughed when reading the name of Alegria's original troupe. xD
All I came up with is Cirque du Poulet Heureux, which I think is something like Happy Chicken Circus.

I also like Joie de l'été.

“What I hear is never the same.
A walk through the woods brings a light crackling song:
Leaves rustle in the wind, birds chatter and squirrels scold,
twigs crunch underfoot,
and the beat of my heart holds it all together.
When you join the flow,
the music is inside and outside,
and both are the same.
As long as I can listen to the moment,
I'll always have music.”

I like this one. It made me smile, and that’s the point of a carnival, right?

Edit: I’ve also made my own! It’s probably been said before but oh well!

I don't really do anything. I mostly sit around listening to music, drawing, and being existential
