The Chinese State Circus will be bringing a brand new spectacular to the UK.

The new show encompasses world class acrobatics, gymnasts and martial arts from the famous Shaolin Warriors - a show completely unequalled in any production of physical theatre.
 
This action-packed production will be touring Europe during 08/09 and for the first time outside China the sensational two-hour show combines the martial arts warriors from the Shaolin Temple and The Tai An Acrobatic Troupe.  Emerging from the foot of Mount Tai - one of China's sacred mountains and home to some of the countries greatest poets, artists, scholars and warriors for over 2000 years.
 
For the first time, the world's greatest acrobats join forces with the undisputed masters of martial arts. They will stretch the limits of human achievement in an extraordinary show, combining a dazzling spectacle and unbelievable acrobatics, plus potential Olympic Gold and Silver medallists of the future, in a unique collaboration of the art form created for the Emperor in the "Forbidden City". Legendary fabled characters from the world-famous Peking Opera will host the all-new production.
 
For the first time outside China the full cultural range of the Chinese State Circus, the finest martial arts exponents of the famous Shaolin Temple, Olympians, acrobats and specially-composed music combine. The whole show is even narrated by one of the most famous characters in Chinese Folklore - the Monkey King.
 
For the first time artists have been selected from China's leading acrobatic troupe. Including, back-flipping acrobats spiralling through rotating hoops and a dizzying succession of an array of beautiful plate spinning oriental divas. Further spice comes from candelabra balancing knotted contortionists, Swinging Chinese pole balancing, Beautiful Beijing Bicycle balancers and a lusciously set and costumed performance of the Lion Dance. Then to top it all the deadly grace of martial arts from the Shaolin school of Kung Fu, Wu Shu and Qigong.
