THE famous and prestigious Great National Acrobatic Circus of China comes to Teulada auditorium on Thursday, August 17, and is a delight for the senses. Qualified as unique in the world and with more than 30 artists on stage, most of them are Olympic medalists and some are from the famous Cirque du Soleil.

Given five stars by the New York Times , pirouettes, balancing and juggling come together with different acrobatic exercises, which combine sports and mental concentration, forming part of a sublime show.

With 18 acrobatic programmes divided into two parts and four acts, oriental culture is highlighted during the show.

The stunning acts, combined with technical skill make this circus a visual marvel. In the show, a colourful wardrobe is combined with a carefully chosen soundtrack which accompanies each of the acts that are presented, full of mysticism and symbolism. The show invites the audience on a journey with the show’s protagonist, a dreamy boy who enters an unexplored world of fantasy, where he discovers a beautiful phoenix fairy who can fly over the sea. The boy succumbs to the visual wonder, attracted by the beauty of the character who plunges into the ocean.

The show begins at 8pm. Tickets are €35 and can be purchased online from www.auditoriteu ladamoraira.es.
