On the eve of Circusstad Festival, scientists Mesut Savas (Erasmus MC) and Diana van Winden (Codarts) talk about stress among circus artists and other top athletes in Studio Erasmus. In a live illustration, they show what happens to the heartbeat of acrobatic duo No Nonsense during an acrobatic exercise.
