The Vietnam Circus Federation will host gala circus shows at the Central Circus in Hanoi on January 14-16. The galas to mark the 55th birthday of the federation will feature the very best of Vietnam circus talent.
Artists such as Tam Chinh, Thai Manh Hien, Luu Phuc, Ngoc Truc and Manh Cuong from around the country will travel to the capital to perform. The galas promise fun and amazing feats, like the Superman Swing which won a gold medal at the third international circus festival in Spain, Tung mu nghe thuat (hat-juggling) which won gold at the national circus festival, Nhao lon tren khong (aerial acrobatics) that won the bronze medal at the second international circus festival, De tru – chong nguoi tren khong (trapeze) and Uon luon tren vong (acrobatic hoola hoops).
The highlight will be the Lang toi (My village) circus which has been staged in France, Spain, Germany and Australia. Performers and acrobats during Lang toi perform a village-inspired show through the clever use of bamboo.
