The Lekachep Circus School was established 28 years ago.
At that ti, the emperor of the empire was making every effort to break the prestige of the church over nearly two centuries.
He abolished the sermons of bishops, which were essential for imperial ceremonies, and replaced them with the mockery of jesters. The targets of ridicule were mainly corrupt nobles and clergy.
Furthermore, he encouraged people to go to the theater instead of the church every Sunday. In the capital, the emperor himself even went as far as to personally oversee the construction of a national theater.
The most radical move he made was to acquire venerable cathedrals and convert them into theaters.

The statue of the emperor standing in front of the circus school was erected based on such a background.
For the elderly locals in Yeterinpuurk, the building still known as the Palace of Miracles was bustling with many people in front of it.
