One particular acrobatic act with two young performers was particularly spectacular and kept one guessing what would happen next. Saturday promises to be a good show for a good cause.

Historically, Cambodia has a well-earned reputation for circus and this troupe has entertained in many countries over the last few years

It is very different from performances from the West. Faster and more daring.

There was a short preview on Tuesday at Informal Northern Thai Group
