Flying Dragon Circus
Flying Dragon Circus made its European premiere in Newcastle giving audiences the chance to see a show produced by the world famous Pierrot Bidon who previously created the legendary Archaos circus. In Pierrot Bidon's trademark style, the production featured a heady mix of humor, invention and non-stop action.
The show was an exhilarating mix of Kung Fu Shaolin warriors displaying astonishing feats of athleticism and strength interwoven with the grace and dexterity of the Chinese circus tradition. This wonderful spectacle was complemented by breathtaking aerial skills from British artists including cloud swing and flying trapeze. The show also featured a new score performed live by Chinese musicians and Newcastle's own band The Baghdaddies.
The European tour was technically managed by Hi-Lights with the supply of lighting, sound, staging, ground support and technical crew.

15th July to 19th July 2008 - Theatre Royal, Newcastle upon Tyne
30th July to 3rd August 2008 - Stockton International Riverside Festival, Stockton-on-Tees
