Chinese State Circus is coming to town!...

Prepare to have your breath taken and your jaw dropped by the Chinese State Circus!

The internationally acclaimed Circus returns to the UK after a break of three years, returning to its roots in an innovatively spectacular new production – ‘Dynasty’. This exhilarating, colourful and entertaining show is packed with spectacular acrobatics and incredible stunts.

The Chinese State Circus will perform at The Apex on 10 November; the 7.30pm performance has already sold out, so a second show has been added at 5pm.

Set to a soaring musical score accompanied by the rhythmic beats of Chinese percussion, over 2000 years of artistry and music combine in an incredible performance suitable for all the family.

Thirty world-class Chinese acrobats, aerial artistes and jugglers will interact with the super-human physical skills and dexterity of the legendary Shaolin Warriors - the masters of martial arts.

Thrill follows thrill in the nonstop action, from start to awesome finale: Hurtling porcelain jars... dynamically spinning plates... gigantic pyramids of tables and chairs… the delicate strands of silk supporting cascading aerialists.

Thrill at the consummate skill of these all-human performers (yes, even the dragons!) on their exhilarating journey through Chinese culture.

“This is quite simply a display of the most breath-taking acrobatic skills you’re ever likely to see. It’s a thrilling, colourful and highly entertaining spectacular guaranteed to appeal to all age groups.” - The Public Reviews

Please note – there are NO scary clowns, in this production!

The Chinese State Circus is at The Apex on Thursday 10 November at 5pm. Prices are £25 (£23 concessions), £10 for children and £59 for a family ticket; ring the box office on 01284 758000 or see the website - www.theapex.co.uk - for details.
