Details
Laos is a quiet exotic country located between Thailand, Burma, Cambodia, China and Vietnam. It has only 4 million people but it does have a circus, 30 years old this year! From Nov 23-29, international jugglers are invited to join performers from the National Circus of Lao P.D.R. for seven days of workshops, excursions and entertainment for the people of Laos. Centred at the 1-ring Russian circus building, the festival will be unlike anything ever seen before in the sleepy capital, Vientiane.

Planned Highlights: A big show at the Russian Circus with Lao's acrobats, clowns, trapeze artists, jugglers, balancers etc, special guest performers from Vietnam, China and Cambodia, elephant juggling challenge (what can you juggle on an elephant?), juggling excursions to meet the people of Laos, street shows and fire shows during the traditional That Luang Festival, Mekhong River cruise.

You are invited too!
Please join us for this once in a lifetime event and some serious fun!
