Chinese National Circus – China Girl

The Acrobatical with the music of David Bowie and the sensations of the Chinese National Circus.

If you bring together 25 years of Riverdance, 30 years of Chinese National Circus, 35 years of clown and 55 years of show experience, you get an entertainment cocktail of a special kind. Carried by the constant desire to entertain or even touch the audience, one looked for new ways on old paths in the environment of the world-famous Chinese National Circus. So it was obvious to underlay the visions of a new acrobatic show of a special kind, connecting peoples, with the unrivaled musical work of David Bowie and thus create a new overall experience. The result: CHINA GIRL – LOVE IS STRONGER THAN BLOOD.

With this new theater show under the leadership of the two German producers Hermjo Klein and Raoul Schoregge, another production of the Chinese National Circus is now on its way to conquer the hearts of a worldwide audience. Analogous to the title, the innovative show concept Acrobatical presents the high art of Chinese acrobatics on the sound carpet of live performed highlights from the musical complete works of the legendary pop icon David Bowie. The plot is a transposition of William Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet into the New York City of the turn of the millennium. The love story between Dou Dou and Roberto takes place against the backdrop of a constant clash between rival ethnic groups: the westernized residents from “little Italy” and the Chinese immigrants. Eternal love and fatal enmity between the run-down backyards, cookshops, junk stores and upscale restaurants of Manhattan’s Chinatown.

FASCINATION OF A CULTURE BETWEEN INTEGRATION & CONFRONTATIONTheactors in front of and behind the scenes also become authentic role models through their intercultural spirit. Just as every era had its heroes, every era has its matching show. And the time for this people-uniting show CHINA GIRL is right now! The important show perspective for now and the post-corona era!
