Direct from Beijing, the National Circus of the People's Republic of China is undertaking an inaugural coast to coast tour of the United States and Canada with their new program "Cirque Chinois."
The contribution the company has made to the world's circus society is profound, changing the concept of circus to a new style of "non-animal circus" and also influencing and training the pioneers of Cirque du Soleil. The group will appear at Wharton Center for one show only at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 23. Tickets are on sale now at whartoncenter.com, at the Auto-Owners Insurance Ticket Office or by calling 1-800-WHARTON.
The circus was founded in 1953, making it one of the longest running and most distinguished circus troupes in China. The National Circus of the People's Republic of China is especially acclaimed in China because of the unique acts in their program such as Great Teeterboard, Grand Flying Trapeze, Group Contortion, Straw Hats Juggling, Girls' Balance With Bowls and many other outstanding acts. With an ensemble of over 40 gymnasts, contortionists, jugglers and dancers, the company is one of the longest running and most distinguished circus troupes in China and has won over twenty Gold and Silver medals and other awards at international circus festivals.
There will be a preview lecture at this performance. This free, half-hour discussion will be held 45 minutes prior to the performance. Previews for the Cobb Great Hall are located in the Stoddard Grand Tier lounge on the third floor of the Wharton Center.
