In pictures: Jewish-Arab circus

The circus teaches a raft of skills, including juggling, high-wire, balancing, acrobatics, trapeze, unicycle-riding and rope-climbing.

It has an Israeli Arab manager and four Jewish teachers, including 37-year-old Gilad Finkel (pictured).

"In circus, there's a language without words," Gilad says.

"Verbal language can be a barrier. Here people must trust one another, especially when they're on the high-wire or jugging with fire."
