The whole point of art is self-expression - it's not about appealing to an audience. Van Gogh didn't sell a single painting in his lifetime, yet we now recognize him as one of the greatest artists ever to have lived.
Circus comes from populist roots, but that doesn't mean audience appeal must be considered when treating it as an art form. It's the difference between making Riverdance and Pina Bausch.
