Hardly any circus festival of global importance in the last four decades has not had to award at least one of the top three places to acrobats from the Middle Kingdom. Thus, in China's talent factories, the constant drive resulting from such success to always present new wonders has also led to the creation of new, even greater wonders. Presentations of physical exercises by talented individuals who have seemingly defied gravity in public. With a circus infrastructure of nearly 1000 acrobatic training centers in the country, one can draw on above-average resources here to develop new standards for amazement. Raoul Schoregge, artistic director of the Chinese National Circus in Europe for more than 20 years, thus presents a masterpiece of acrobatics. Well set in scene, without too much embellishment, back to basics, back to the roots of pure balancing art - poetic, philosophical, and physically brilliant. Sometimes an external push is needed. In recent months, the production team has been repeatedly asked - by the audience, by companions, and the artists themselves - when after years of absence such grand shows in Europe the Chinese National Circus will return with such an impressive insight into the Olympus of acrobatics? The question was when the poetic magic of Chinese acrobatics, the bright colors of the costumes, the mystical silence of concentration, and the mental strength of the many human wonders can be celebrated together again. And honestly, the creative team itself felt that the time was ripe. After years of pandemic-related restraint and global political upheavals, it was not self-evident to openly and grandly tell the story of China. But: Art has never drawn boundaries. Art has overcome them. Under the title "ZENsation - China's Grandmasters of Balance," the best of 2,000 years of the Chinese National Circus will come to the stage in the best theaters, halls, and arenas of our continent in 2026/2027. Emotional, poetic, and impressive as never before! It is a new beginning, but also a homecoming. A departure that is committed to tradition but oriented towards the future.
