Absolutely fantastic show that kept you on your toes. The stunts and circus acts were very entertaining. The performers were engaging and did a great job with crowd work. The cause of Phare Circus is also awe inspiring and would highly recommend to add to your list of activities when visiting Siem Reap. Might I say the local food available for purchase pre-event was delicious!

The definition of circus is very different in Cambodia! This performance was more dance than circus with weird cultural references like the opening act where it looked as though gnats were mating. Then came a strange dance with brooms sporting googly eyes. There was some strength work and lots of tumbling. There were two average, but quick, juggling acts and that was about it. The main act consisted of all the performers being murdered either through twisting their necks or being kicked or punched to death. The murderous performer was then killed by his boss. An absolutely horrific 10 minutes in a 60-minute show! If your children are into gratuitous violence and sustained horror, then you will love it. For us Australians, particularly when we come from the home of the world class Flying Fruit Fly Circus, the whole performance was pretty poor. A couple of great short acts like the balancing on pipes and some aerial tosses could not make up for a truly disappointing experience. At $18USD for the cheap seats, you can find much better value entertainment elsewhere.
