I wanna join the circus!! This is the type of emotion that tonight’s show invoked in me at the finale … and from what I could hear in most of the people around me too.
The spectacular tonight combined three arts woven into one story – the acrobats of the Chinese State Circus, the martial artists of the Shaolin Wu-Shu Warriors and the performers from the Peking Opera.
The show really is too amazing to describe and is something that needs to be experienced in person. You’ve got acrobatics, contortionists, the classic strong man, dancing lions (something that creeped me out when I was a kid but now I can appreciate the grace of them thrills me to no end), juggling, tight-rope walking on both the slack wire and double-wires in ways you couldn’t imagine (I mean they were doing things I couldn’t even do on the ground!), pole jumping, martial arts on and off the ground. The Mystery of 100 Faces was a pretty cool contribution by the Peking Opera too.
Unfortunately, it was over all too soon!

What did you think of the tent
Actually there was no tent because it was held at Royal Festival Hall. Good set up on stage though. It really was a great performance – the skill involved was just amazing.

Glad you thought the show was amazing. The performers really were oustanding.
What did you say you liked
Do you mean acts? They were all pretty good and I guess in particular I enjoyed the hoop diving, the wire acts, and the Shaolin Warriors on the poles (climbing, hanging from them etc.)
Yeh they were all great
I am allways glad when people are interested in circus
