The Chinese State Circus brings a taste of the orient
CHINESE STATE CIRCUSfrom: www.cambridge-news.co.uk
Circuses have undergone somewhat of a Renaissance in the last few years: from the days of clowns, fat ringmasters and sorry-looking animals they've evolved into something a great deal sleeker and cooler. And few have enjoyed as much success in the 21st century than the Chinese State Circus, which rolls into town this weekend.
Drawing on Chinese traditions going back 2,000 years, yet with a modern twist, the show looks set to be a sunburst of acrobatic skill, martial arts and physical theatre designed to engage all the senses.
Yin Yang is a new show for 2012 and, as well as showcasing the physical skill of the performers, includes contrasting acts such as parasol juggling and the aerial silks which, performed in stunning costume, celebrate the delicacy and beauty of Chinese culture and tradition as well as its power and strength.
Chinese State Circus, Cambridge Corn Exchange, January 28-29. Tickets start at £17. For more information and to book, contact (01223) 357851 / www.cornex.co.uk.
