Mou Quiang and Yang Gang are two young performers, both twenty-six years of age, from the People’s Republic of China. Mou Qiang and Yang Gang reinvent a classic of the Chinese Circus tradition: verticalism. Their performance is enhanced by the typically Chinese atmosphere of the number, evoked by the use of costume, music and props. A large iron structure is central to this number that requires great concentration as well as exceptional physical skill. At just over a month from the opening evening of the Festival on Thursday, October 18th at 9pm, the cast of competing performers is taking shape: 20 numbers have already been officially accepted to participate at the International Circus Festival – City of Latina. Following the American, African and European groups already announced, now it’s the turn of the Asian competitors, from China and Mongolia. Photo courtesy of the Festival.
