Circus billing

Ten acts by world performers -- all grand award winners -- will be staged at the 3rd China International Circus Festival Macao Forum Charity Roadshow on Nov 12.

Acrobatic team in action

The international circus gala will run from Nov 18 to 26 at the Zhuhai Hengqin Island Theater. Twenty-seven premier acrobatic troupes from 21 countries, including China, Russia, Ukraine, the Republic of Belarus, Australia, Germany, the US, Italy, Canada, and the Netherlands, will perform, according to the organizers.

More than 200 professionals will enthrall crowds with dazzling stunts, aerial and stage acrobatics, laughable clown shows, and large-scale magic shows.

Chinese troupes have also confirmed their presence at the circus gala with three performances, including the Male Group Acrobatic and Terracotta Warrior Russia Bar acts, both of which had won the prestigious Golden Elephant Award at the 15th World Festival of Circus Arts in Moscow.
