World's greatest circus comes to The Lowry, Salford
The world's greatest circus returns with a brand new productionYin Yang featuring the first UK appearance of the formidable Shaolin Warrior.

Yin Yang – which translates as “The interaction of two energies in a dynamic system of balance” – showcases the explosive and gravity-defying alongside the more delicate side of Chinese tradition.

This stunning production features the most daring, breath-taking and thrilling artistes to tour the UK including the Shaolin Warrior, known only as “The One”, who was sourced specifically for this tour by Director Phillip Gandey.

This unique extravaganza showcases only the best in entertainment. Yin Yang will keep the audience on the edge of their seats, with an array of elaborate, explosive and highly choreographed presentations of power, poise and agility, but also shows the more delicate and beautiful side of Chinese tradition with the silk aerial act, parasol juggling and the amazing legendary ‘Bicycle Act’ in which 10 talented artistes manoeuvre onto a single bicycle.

Unpredictable and exhilarating twists, including foot juggling with drums, the famous Chinese poles, the sensational contortionist and the dynamic hoop divers with their amazing somersaults, leaps and jumps all go towards completing this action packed programme.

Sensational act flows into sensational act, without narrative, accompanied by captivating and atmospheric live music from an all-girl group.

Evocative sets, soaring musical score and extravagant new costumes will entertain audiences of all ages long after the final curtain falls.
