India and Nepal 2022
For the first time in Myanmar's recent history and maybe the first time ever, the local population is given a chance to see the circus.
It is the branchild of a Frenchman who has been a regular visitor to the country over many years and it is an ambitious project.
I feel so sorry for hm as attendances have been very low and tonight is no exception. In a venue which can hold hundreds, only 50 people are here to watch the show.
I am here with Chris, Melani and Ellen and there are a few other Europeans in the audience to bolster the numbers.
Maybe the location is the problem. Its over the river in the east of the city and a difficult journey through heavy traffic for many. Maybe the pricing for a family outing is too high? Maybe Myanmar is not quite ready for tis sort of cultural entertainment? Maybe the concept of circus needs further work?
Its a great show with very professional performers. acrobats, trapeze artists, trick cyclists, circe soleil type artists, musicians, magicians and clowns.
I REALLY enjoy the show and hope that one day soon, the circus owner and the troupe get the success they deserve.
