Excerpt from the interview with the Raluy Sisters
This is an excerpt from the interview with the Raluy Sisters that also You can see it on their YouTube channel.
We have never had it as an obligation, obviously, but I think that, on the one hand, it is almost the dream of any child. Growing up in a tent, with performances, travelling, seeing new places... It is a very special life. So I think that one thing has attracted the other and we have not had any doubts. You need a lot of time to dedicate yourself to the circus and become an artist. It also depends on the level you reach, but there are many hours of training, you have to combine it with your studies, it is a career. So, of course, it is difficult, it is hard, because it takes several sacrifices to achieve certain goals, but when you are a child and you also see your whole family performing, going around the ring, it is something you want to do too. And that pushes you a lot, too, seeing that everyone is dedicated to it and that they continue with that magic. And for that reason, we have never had any doubts about what we wanted to do. It stops being a sacrifice and becomes a passion.
