\n\u201cMy great-great-grandfather started with horse acts,
\n he was in the military cavalry and that is how he started,\u201d said Gisela through the telephone.\u00a0 \u201cMy family continued with the tradition.\u201d
\nSince she was three she used to play in her family\u2019s circus and began doing professional acts at the age of 11 performing on a trampoline.
\nToday she has the role of \u2018Mom\u2019 in the \u201cCircus of Dreams\u201d as the 136th edition of the circus is called.\u00a0 The \u201cCircus of Dreams\u201d is a new concept that according to the producers has been one of the most drastic changes to the history of the circus.
\nThe produc\"gissela\"<\/a>tion has gotten rid of the three-ring-circus and will now be one large area of entertainment.\u00a0 They have also added a storyline that includes a family picked from the audience that is invited to take part in the circus.\u00a0 The family is part of the show and Gisela along with Chuck Wagner as the \u2018Dad\u2019 that tries the circus ringmaster position and their two \u2018children\u2019, will be picked by songstress and ringmaster Jennifer Fuentes, who made herself know on the hit TV show American Idol.\u00a0 The show also added a large jumbo screen that will bring the audiences much closer to the action.\u00a0 They will also have the elephants, a segment with white tigers and the Torres family\u2019s Motorcycle Mania.
\nFor Gisela playing the role of \u2018Mom\u2019 will have her \u2018becoming\u2019 an aerialist.
\n\u201cIt is a number that consist of aerialist acts from high above,\u201d said Gisela, who is also accompanied by her mom and dad even though they don\u2019t take part in her act.
\nFor her, the last two years with Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus have been very important and says that she likes seeing how the audiences, especially the children, get excited while seeing her acts.\u00a0 She says that she also loves to travel and meeting people of different cultures and when she has some extra time she like to get to know the cities she visits and dance.
\nThe circus life is something that has been a part of her since she was a child and she says that she was never attracted to \u201cthe outside.\u201d\u00a0 When asked what she didn\u2019t like about her type of lifestyle, she says that she is already accustomed to traveling and that if it were any different \u201cI would get bored.\u201d
\nIf you don\u2019t want to be bored yourself you can get your tickets to the Quad City show visiting the i wireless Center box office in Moline or via internet at www.Ticketmaster.com.<\/p>\n
