Get ready for Chinese State Circus extravaganza at Southport Theatre
Dec 15 2010 by Janine Yaqoob, Midweek Visiter
FROM the land of legends and Shaolin Warrior’s comes the incredible new Chinese State Circus production, the live action spectacular, Mulan.
As part of the 21 date theatre tour The Chinese State Circus arrives at Southport Theatre on Wednesday, March 9 and Thursday, March 10, 2011.
Following the show’s successful premiere in Liverpool earlier this year, organisers are expecting a rapturous response from audiences in Southport when the action extravaganza comes to town.
Explore the inspiring heroic story of a strong-minded country girl who joined the Emperor’s all-male army in place of her father who was too old to fight. Through her warrior skills she was promoted to the rank of General yet throughout her epic exploits defeating all her enemies no one was aware that she was a woman.
Witness a breathtaking fusion of precision acrobatics, Shaolin martial arts, dazzling circus skills, colourful characters from Peking Opera, physical theatre and drama choreographed to an original music score.
Entertainment for all the family, from the world’s leading Chinese acrobats. From gravity-defying gymnastics to the seemingly impossible body manipulations of the hand-balancer; from the leaping, rolling somersaulting repertoire of the hoop divers to the lavish tradition of the Lion Dance, the undisputed masters of physical theatre will have the audience on the edge of their seats.
Blink and you could miss it, such are the lightening reactions of the greatest exponents of martial arts, the Shaolin Wushu Warriors. Trained at the Shaolin Temple, they stretch the limits of human achievement in this dazzling new production.
The title role of Mulan is performed by martial arts expert, Cao Jing making her first appearance in the UK.
Joining Mulan is two of the most colourful characters in Chinese folklore, from the exclusive Peking Opera, the Monkey King and his zany companion, Pig, who are the audience’s guides through the adventure.
