Festival Centre, the heart of Dubai Festival City and one of the region’s most exciting retail, dining and entertainment destinations, continues to be the hub of festivity and celebration. Already recognised as Dubai’s ideal venue for world-class events, Festival Centre partners this year with Dubai Shopping Festival in binging on stage one of the most thrilling performances ever – the internationally renowned Chinese State Circus.
Unmatched for spectacle and excitement, the incomparable Chinese State Circus will bring to Festival Centre a 90-minute action packed show that will keep the audience on the edge of their seats. Suitable for all the family, highlights of the show include: the spectacular big banners, high-speed acrobatics of the hoop divers; traditional plate spinning; the ancient art of Chinese jar juggling manipulating heavy earthenware pots and jaw-dropping hand-balancing. The show would not be complete without the amazing Lion Dance and the famous Shaolin Warriors, but many more exciting surprises are to be discovered. The Chinese State Circus will perform daily from January 15th to February 15th at 6PM and 9PM, with the exception of Mondays.
