Chinese State Circus at Blackheath
December 15, 2009 by Rob Powell
The Chinese State Circus are currently setting up at Blackheath, ready to launch their show tomorrow which runs through until Boxing Day (with a day off on Christmas day).
The breath-taking family show includes Swinging Poles, Spinning Plates, Hats Off!, Contortion, The Shaolin Wu-Shu Warriors, The Monkey King, Olympic Stars, Diablos, the 2008 World Circus Award nominated Sensual Silks and Hoop Diving.
You can buy tickets online for the Chinese State Circus at Blackheath from Ticketmaster.
How many Chinese State circuses are there? Everywhere I go in the UK there seems to be yet another. Are there any circuses left in China?
It reminds me of the Red Army Choirs and Dance Ensembles which used to tour England in my youth. Very few of the artistes were resident in the USSR, I was told by one who knew.
