!!!!!!!!

Makes me want to know the story behind those maniacs. Are they acrobat/musicians or musician/acrobats?

I'm only guessing - but I would say that looking at them they are circus performers. I can remember when I was young that circuses were far more prevalent and they were travelling, family businesses where everybody chipped in to help - so you would have people who were in the band and did a bit of clowning/acrobatics, took money at the box office etc.

See the film "Mirrormask" for this kind of thing...?

+1! I recall as a kid seeing a small "Mom and Pop" circus sponsored by Dr. Pepper. It had the best acrobats I have ever seen! Kinda took the thrill out of those Ringling Bros performamces.
