中国杂技秀 —— 晚会片段，还是整台大戏Chinese Acrobatic Show for Hire — For Galas, Festivals and Full Seasons
我们的整台节目出自中国杂技的路子，装在现代大马戏的壳里：十余个节目、约 90 分钟，压轴是死亡飞轮与魔幻球笼。买家通常按两种尺寸来取，而较小的那一种往往更该是起点。Our own programme comes out of the Chinese acrobatic tradition, staged inside a modern grand circus: more than ten acts, around 90 minutes, with the Wheel of Death and the Globe of Death as its headline pieces. Buyers take it in one of two sizes, and the smaller one is usually the right place to start.
先分清你想买的是哪一种Two formats, routinely confused
- A set inside your show. Two of the acts, running around twenty minutes in total, licensed into a gala, a festival programme or a variety bill. This is the format most galas actually need.
- The full programme. More than ten acts, around 90 minutes, staged in our own 1,000-seat big top or licensed into a venue you operate. This is a season or a festival run, not a slot.
The confusion is that both get called a Chinese acrobatic show. The difference matters commercially: the first is a programming decision you can make this quarter, the second is a production with freight, cast and a site attached to it.
需求从哪里来Where the demand comes from
The briefs cluster in a few recognisable places, and all of them are served by the same two formats — what changes is the running time and the room:
- Lunar New Year and Chinese cultural festivals, where the ask is specifically for a Chinese company performing Chinese acrobatics rather than a generic variety act.
- Destination resorts and tourism campaigns that need a nightly or weekly cultural draw, not a one-off gala.
- Cultural seasons at theatres, concert halls and museums, where the programme has to sit inside a curated series.
- Corporate new-year galas and brand campaigns with a China theme, where the acrobatic element is the visual anchor of the evening.
排期要跟着农历走Planning around the lunar calendar
Lunar New Year moves every year, and the whole market moves with it. Three consequences that catch people out:
- Book three to six months out. Venue availability, freight space and crew travel are all tightest in that window, and the strongest dates go first.
- Crew travel inside China is genuinely difficult during the holiday itself. We schedule movement either side of it rather than through it.
- The weeks after the first day of the festival are often easier to sell than the day itself, and they are also easier to programme.
If your date is lunar, tell us the Gregorian dates you are targeting early. A festival window and an ordinary month are two different freight and crew plans.
场地要满足什么What the venue has to provide
| Clear height 净高 | ≥ 15 m over the wheel position; ≥ 12 m clear overall for the full programme containing it |
|---|---|
| Performance area 表演区 | ≥ 15 m × 12 m for the wheel; the globe needs a 6 m diameter footprint plus a safety ring |
| Floor load 地面承重 | ≥ 5 t/㎡ under the rig |
| Power supply 用电 | 380 V / ≥ 150 kW on a dedicated circuit |
| Seating 观众席 | ≥ 800 seats preferred for the wheel; the globe reads well from 500 up |
| Extract-based booking 只取片段时 | The ceiling still decides. The two headline acts need height, so a low-ceilinged room rules them out whatever the running time. |
找我们报价时请带上这些What to send us
- The occasion — gala, festival, cultural season or residency, and the audience it is aimed at.
- The venue — type, clear height, performance area, power, plus photographs or a section drawing.
- The dates — and whether they are lunar dates, so the freight plan can be built accordingly.
- The size — an extract set or the full programme of more than ten acts.
Send those and we will come back with a technical plan, a running order and a quotation. Site assessments are free of charge and come first.
常见问题Frequently asked questions
Is this traditional Chinese acrobatics or a modern circus?
Both descriptions fit the same programme. The performing tradition is Chinese acrobatics; the staging is a modern grand circus, with the Wheel of Death and the Globe of Death as its headline pieces. There are no animals.
Can you supply a short set for a gala or awards evening?
Yes. Two of the acts form a set of around twenty minutes, which is what most galas need. The acts can also be spread across a longer running order if you want them as punctuation rather than as one block.
How early should we book for Lunar New Year?
Three to six months before the Gregorian dates you are targeting. Freight, crew travel and venue availability are all tightest in that window, and the strongest dates go first.
Can the acts be licensed into a production we already run?
Yes — act licensing is the lightest commitment we offer, and it is where most partnerships begin.
Can the show be staged outdoors?
Yes, where the site provides the clear height, a level performance area and the power the rigging needs. Outdoor runs need a weather protocol agreed in advance, including automatic suspension triggers.
Does the show need translating?
The programme is non-verbal, so it plays the same in any market.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on the format, the number of acts, the number of performances, the site and the freight. Send us the venue and target dates and we will quote against them.
