Westwards

The winter three years ago I was attacked on the street by three men. They spoke badly to me about the fact that I was visibly Muslim and struck me in the back of my head. I was shocked and felt completely paralyzed. After some time had passed, I felt that it was too much for me to handle and it was one of the reasons I chose to take off the hijab for a period of time. If it had happened today, I would never have taken it off, because I've got a better idea of what the hijab means to me now. I think there are some things you need to learn. Not that I feel I got anything good out of what happened, but it made me feel stronger. They did not get their will because I believe more strongly now, and I'm prouder wearing my hijab now than before.

Circus Zorba is the smallest circus in Norway. From early April till late October the tiny, original circus travels the long country, from the far north to the south. The show runs in a different place almost every day, and everyone has to help.
