New Shanghai Circus Tickets

If you want to experience the unbelievable and see with your own eyes a feast of incredible acts on a single stage then the New Shanghai Circus is the right place for you. The depiction of Chinese culture in each and every part of the circus including background images, lights, costumes, and performances present before the audience a breathtaking event that is beyond human imagination and intellect.

The New Shanghai Circus came into existence in the year 1991. It is a part of the Shanghai Magic Troupe that performs internationally. The history of the Shanghai magic and acrobatic troupe dates back to 1959 in China where various independent troupes who used to perform independently were merged into one. It is extremely popular both abroad and at home. This is evident from the fact that it is being performed in many countries of the world including Japan, Canada, United States, Thailand, Singapore, Turkey, New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Belgium, Srilanka, Hong Kong, France, Taiwan and United Arab Emirates. It began performing in Missouri in the year 1998 and due to its worldwide popularity it performed in New York at the New Victory Theatre and was a huge success.

The most amazing part of the circus is that it uses the audiences screams of ”oh my God”, ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ as background music by stopping the music during its most unbelievable performances in order to leave the audience in a state of shock and thereby creating an ambience of awe in the theatre. It is a two hour show and is fast paced. The performances come one after the other leaving the spectators astonished. The tumblers and contortionists are very talented. This show is being performed in different venues.

There are numerous acts that show the brilliance and skill of the artist .At one time we see a woman folding herself inside a drum with extreme flexibility and at another instance we suddenly come face to face with human pyramids and people moving swiftly on thin ropes. Riding a unicycle alone is not an easy job but when riding it with half a dozen bowls on one’s head makes it almost an impossible task. But that is what Shanghai Circus is all about doing the impossible! If you are still not surprised then they have more to make you go into the world of unreal. Balancing one bowl on foot and the other on head and then tossing it with the bowl on the head while cycling, and also moving and tossing five bowls from head to feet briskly and tactfully leaves mouth drop open.

New Shanghai Circus performance is considered to be one of the top rated events of the year. The most amazing and unique feature of the circus is the famous Lion dance. The lions costumes are elaborate and very colourfull.It provides a comic relief in the otherwise astonishing event. The costume of the lion projects a sense of festivity which is an evidence of happiness and joy and brings out the spirit and tradition of the history and evolution of acrobats in China. The event starts with the Lion dance. It is because the Lion is considered to be a symbol of strength and it was believed that it had the power to save the villagers from devil and the evil spirits. So the appearance of the lion in the beginning of the show is believed to be a good omen and will lead towards the successful completion of the show.

For those who have been to the western circus will find this Chinese circus an altogether different experience. Apart from the famous Lion dance there are numerous other outstanding performances like for example a young woman plucks a flower with her mouth, bending backwards and has more than eight plates spinning on a stick. It appears as if the plates are glued to the stick. The backgrounds equally present the Chinese culture. The arched bridges, Great Wall, lily ponds, tile roofed temples. The music reminds us of its origin, gentle songs, bells and drums and big beat of huge drum is an evidence of Chinese legacy.

The New Shanghai Circus Tickets are your gateway to experience a world of exhilarating and astonishing performances, and an event not to be missed by both adults and children. The individual performances as well as the environment as a whole keeps you spell bound the whole time.
