ABSTRACT

The paper examines the problem of cross-cultural interactions; within this context circus art is analyzed. Art in general and especially circus art can be considered as a field of dialogical communication and as a way of giving new human experiences, spiritual values and worldviews. It is hypothesized that circus art is a complex polyfunctional social and cultural phenomenon, which inherits communicative properties of art. It is possible and desired to study circus art in the context of cross-cultural dialogue. The article deals with modern cultural situation and its orientation on cultural dialogism; it also displays general factors that form the role of circus art in the cross-cultural interaction.
