Chinese State Circus 14th Dec 2006-14th Mar 2007

A very colourful performance by this talented troup of Acrobats, jugglers, and dancers. Long gone are the days of lion-tamers and elephants and clowns. Though the body of the narrator in this show has a passing resemblance to a clown, but without all the slipstick. The show is divided into many 2-3 minute segments hightlighting the different skills. These include the Big Banner Juggling, Bow Bending and Giant Sword, Chinese Lion Dance, Dancing Dragons, Flying Daggers, Hoop Diving, Human Candelabra Contortionist, Jar Jugglers, Mystery Known as 100 Faces, Peking Opera, Pole Jumping, Slack Wire Walking, and the world famous Shoalin Wu-Shu Warriors. Although some of the swords used in the sinuated fighting sequences apeared to be made of foil covered cardboard, many of the other props used were authenticated by the audience members in the front row.
