The Chinese National Circus draws on millennia-old roots. Many attractions were created at fairs, during military exercises, or to entertain the court. Elements of Peking opera were included. Early on, people began systematically training juggling, acrobatics, and breakneck trapeze maneuvers in silk scarves. These traditions give the Chinese National Circus its special aura. It’s all about precision, power, and poetry, combined into images of unforgettable beauty.
