Noah's Ark Circus

The Noah's Ark Circus is a traveling circus troupe.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 22, page 33 Its members consist of stunt-oriented artists. The first-string members refer to their patron as Father.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 29, page 5
==Overview==
The Noah's Ark Circus has visited a variety of places to carry out thrilling performances and provide entertainment for their audiences. It is standard practice to erect a large tent or a circular arena composed of tiers of seats for the spectators to sit in and observe the show.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 24, page 18
The show is, chiefly, comprised of wild and engaging stunts enacted by the troupe; each member possesses different skills and professions—among them are fire eating, flying trapeze, knife throwing, tightrope walking, snake charming, and animal training.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 24, pages 20-23
They run on a comprehensive and well-organized schedule that is strictly adhered to; it allots specific ten- or twenty-minute intervals for each distinct act. Due to the popularity of the circus, there is quite often an encore that quickly follows the show's finale. The show takes approximately two hours.Kuroshitsuji anime; Episode 41
However, in each city the troupe has performed in, disconcerting incidents arise where a number of children have simply disappeared in the dead of the night. Despite the government's earnest investigations, the children cannot be found.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 24, page 6 Because the troupe's travels appear to coincide with any amount of missing children from the towns they visit, the troupe's undisclosed actions are very questionable. As a result, Queen Victoria sends Ciel Phantomhive on a mission to investigate the Noah's Ark Circus, recover the children and return them safely to their families.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 24, page 7
