Alexander Calder shows us what all the amazing wire models that make up his miniature circus can do in this film by Jean Painleve from 1955. Calder is famous for his colorful mobiles, but Cirque Calder is one of his incredible lesser-known works from 1931.

Please tell me.Socrates

That if they are not fastened up they play truant and run away; but, if fastened, they stay where they are.
