Tom Duffy’s Circus will be making a welcome return to Barrack Street in Kilkenny from Monday 10 until Wednesday October 12.
Following on the huge success of the 2006 association with the Chinese National Circus, Tom Duffy’s has once again in 2011 engaged a world famous Chinese circus troupe. This amazing Euro-Asiatic production combines the best of circus from both the East and West.
Nine members of the Nan Le troupe from the famous Nanle Circus School will be performing breath-taking feats for the first time in front of an Irish audience.
The opening of the show is a vibrant array of colour with human skipping, hoop jumping, aerial silks, and bareback horse riding. The exotic troupe follows featuring llamas, alpacas, and zebras, before clown Davide has fun with spaghetti, you had better watch out.
High in the roof of the big top Tamara eloquently performs on the aerial trapeze as the large steel cage is erected heralding the arrival of everyone’s favourite – tigers. Tom Duffy’s Royal Bengal and Siberian tigers make a grand entrance as the audience look on in awe. Following the tigers it is time to meet the Chinese lion as he makes his way through the audience.
Tom Duffy’s troupe of palomino stallions bring the first half of the show to a close. After the interval the second half of the show opens with the Chinese wheel featuring all nine members of Nan Le troupe. The Michael Jackson tribute is followed by Miss Oyunna’s breathtaking cloudswing high above the circus ring.
