The New Shanghai Circus

Experience Ancient Chinese Circus Traditions

In acts that often trace their origins to the harvest festivals of 2000 years ago, this youthful and graceful company spends a swift two hours in a range of demanding performances that are a refreshing alternative to the Western tradition. Following a six-week run on Broadway, these fearless performers bring us a new spellbinding show with astonishing athletes that defy gravity and execute breathtaking feats. Performers with boundless energy bring over millennia of Chinese circus traditions to the Queensborough Performing Arts Center in Bayside for a show that the "New York Times" called "entertainment in abundance."
