AN INTERNATIONALLY acclaimed circus will wow a Weymouth audience tomorrow. (20)
The Chinese State Circus brings its spectacular new production Dynasty to town.
There will be two performances, a 2pm matinee and a 6pm evening show.
Circus performers promise to transform low-tech everyday objects into hi-tech acrobatic equipment.
Expect to see hurtling porcelain jars and dynamically spinning plates balancing upon gigantic pyramids of tables and chairs framed by the delicate strands of silk supporting cascading aerialists.
Stunning world class Chinese acrobats, aerial artistes and jugglers will interact with the super-human physical skills and dexterity of the masters of martial arts – the legendary Shaolin Warriors.
There will be non-stop action from start to awesome finale as thrill follows thrill set to a soaring musical score accompanied by the rhythmic beats of Chinese percussion.
The history of the Chinese State Circus spans 25 years when it was conceived by Creative Director Phillip Gandey who became the first Circus director in Europe to obtain permission from the Chinese Cultural authorities to be allowed to tour a Big Top production of his own creation performed entirely by Chinese acrobats.
Phillip has spent a considerable time travelling extensively throughout China to select the very best circus artistes who will not only be worthy of continuing the proud and unequalled tradition of acrobatic excellence in the Chinese State Circus but also be capable of raising the 'incomparable' standards to even higher contemporary heights.
