Just a note on this misunderstanding: you wrote "I have been part of this circus 15 years ago", which was ambiguous because 'have been' is normally used for an action or state of affairs that is ongoing (or has just finished). So the reader either skipped over the 'ago' and read the sentence as 'I have been part of this circus [for] 15 years', or noticed that you'd made an error and had to guess whether it was 'ago' or 'have been'.
