Swan Lake Performed by the Chinese State Circus
Here is a mesmerizing video of 100 acrobats and dancers from the “Chinese State Circus” performing Swan Lake.
These performances remind me of Cirque du Soliel, though I’ve never had the opportunity to actually see the Chinese State Circus in person. As I understand it, they perform primarily in Europe, so if any of you guys across the pond have seen them in person let us know if it’s as great as it looks like it would be!

Aw Rhoody – you can say “spoiled western stars” if you want, but be honest! It’s Union regulations that require specific #s of people doing specific tasks for specific numbers of hours. The unions can’t go after the Chinese visitors, but no show on Broadway would be allowed to stay open while the cast were their own crew.
Hey, they would definitely do well on Britain’s got talent, Simon Cowell would approve!
Very nice Video of performance enjoy watching it. Chinese artists did a fantastic job.
I was working with the chinese state circus on seversl tours in Europe. The performance of this group is amazing, if they do classical shows or traditional stuff.
Whenever you have the change to see them make sure you spend some more dollar to sit close to the stage not somewhere in the back.
Working with them (we provided sound and light systems) is quite interesting as they do everything by themself (not like our spoiled western stars) The stage-hands are there to push the cases to the stage and back to the truck. All the rest (stage-set-up) is done by the chinese crew and artists.
cheers
