Unfortunately, another sick day. We were feeling a bit better in the evening, so we headed out to Phare circus. It had been recommended to us by a mother/daughter we met in Luang Prabang that were traveling from Sweden and it did not disappoint! Connected to a school for performers to bring arts to youth and preserve traditional Cambodian dances and acts, they have a lovely evening prepared starting with local food and warm-up performances before entering the tent for the main event. Clowning, nerve-inducing unicycle tricks, lots of two person holds, balancing, trapeze and silks: each new performer and section was engaging and exciting. It was all woven together with a story about a Cambodian village, specifically a (grown) child coming back to visit a village for a local celebration. Definitely worth checking out!
