Thank you, although I used the equivalent of modern circus in my translation - which was into Hungarian, but I needed some explanation, as I haven't come across this concept yet. I am not sure if I should add either to the open glossary.

disagree  Görel Bylund: Nej. nycirkus är en speciell genre (mycket spännande) som skiljer sig från traditionell cirkus. Ett par exempel är Cirkus Cirkör och Cirque Soleil. Tyvärr vet jag inte vad den engelska termen är, men ska försöka luska litet!

Äsch, ibland slinter fingrarna. Som sagt, såg inte termen \"new circus\" som mer förekommande, men det verkar som det faktiskt är så. Spännande, jag har aldrig tänkt på vad det heter på engelska, men jag älskar verkligen denna cirkusform - den är så vansinnigt uppfriskande!
