What kind of people are “the flying Santinis”? What kind of people are “the flying Santinis” mentioned in the context? Thank you. PS: the excerpt is taken from “The Flying Santinis” written by an Israeli author, Etgar Keret. And I’m reading an English translation. the context: Italo waved his left hand and the irritating drumming stopped. He took a long breath and closed his eyes. When I saw him standing tensely on the little wooden platform, wearing his glittering costume, almost touching the canvas ceiling of the tent, everything suddenly seemed clear to me. I would leave home and join the circus! I too would become one of the flying Santinis, I would leap though the air like a demon, I would hang onto the trapeze ropes with my teeth!
