In this July 20, 2018 photo, equilibrist Gladys Melendez, the mother of a 2-year-old daughter, gets ready for the opening act at the International Circus set up in the shantytown of Pro on the outskirts of Lima, Peru. The mom-and-pop style spectacle is one of about a hundred remaining circuses that manage to eke out a living in an age of viral internet videos and cellphones. (Photo by Martin Mejia/AP Photo)
