The Chinese State Circus

Gandey World Class Productions are pleased to announce the sensational return of the world renowned Chinese State Circus.

The Chinese State Circus is more than a show. Throughout its time this production has aimed to embody a rich tapestry of Chinese art, history and culture which can be dated back over 2000 years. This cultural legacy is permeated through the exhibition of our artistes’ incomparable and distinct acrobatic skills, which have been honed and perfected by their lifelong dedication to their countries artistic heritage.

The resulting circus is a visceral spectacular which takes audiences on an exhilarating journey through Chinese culture.

The history of the Chinese State Circus spans 25 years and was first conceived in the mind of Creative Director Phillip Gandey after he witnessed a group of Oriental acrobats performing to great acclaim at the Monte Carlo Circus Festival. He was astounded at the quality, depth and sheer diversity of such Chinese Acrobatic Troupes. After working out the logistics of transporting 45 artistes, plus directors, interpreters and five tonnes of props half-way around the world – the rest, as they say, is history!
