New Shanghai Circus to perform at the MACC
The New Shanghai Circus will be performing four shows Jan. 15 and 16 at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center’s Castle Theater.
The acrobats bring new interpretations to traditional Chinese circus arts, some with history that goes back thousands of years. The troupe includes jugglers, knife throwers and contortionists. The performers follow a 2,500-year-old tradition of circus arts developed from ancient rural village harvest celebrations.
Shows are 4 and 7:30 p.m. Jan. 15 and 4 and 7 p.m. Jan. 16.
Tickets go on sale to MACC members Tuesday and to the general public Saturday.
They cost $12, $25 and $35 with half-price seating for children 3 to 12 years old for the $25 and $35 tickets. There is a discount available for MACC donors in the Ohi’a level and above.
