À O LÀNG PHO: Nouveau Cirque du Vietnam

A unique opportunity to learn about Vietnamese culture in the form of an imaginative and exciting circus act.

Overview

Làng Phố, which translates as 'village city' in Vietnamese, depicts the shift in urbanisation of rural villages, and is portrayed through a magical circus show performed by the talented French-Vietnamese company Nouveau Cirque du Vietnam.

The traditional circus act explores the transition of Vietnamese culture in a light-hearted, imaginative and charming way.

The entire performance is a spectacle of contrast, from the juxtaposition of serene South Vietnamese music, to bass-heavy hip hop of the underground street dance culture, to a mix of circus tricks of contorting, juggling and aerial work.

Cultural elements such as woven rattan baskets and bamboo poles have been artfully incorporated into the performance to provide a unique ingenuity that will captivate your imagination.

À Ố LÀNG PHỐ is a show for the whole family, and a wonderfully thought-provoking piece demonstrating history, and contemporary culture.
