Circus has different form of organization and it’s currently configured as a plural artistic manifestation that knew how to adapt to contemporary times demands. Many companies have a central element in the family, roaming a way of life, and in the child a guarantee of survival. However, in a certain context, it appears that intergenerational relations are no longer primarily responsible for circus survival and specific school institutions for the training of artists began to emerge, such as the National Circus School (ENC). The cultural policies of the 1970s in Brazil began to invest in stimulating and directing cultural actions, minimizing the repression of the lead years. This text had the objective of analyzing the relations between Circus, culture and the Brazilian State of the 1970s and 80s that conditioned the creation of the National School of Circus, a state institution and the first of its kind in Latin America.

Keywords : Circus; Survival; Culture; State.
