As part of the Circen Dolomites Festival, traditional Chinese circus show with the artist Cho Kairin
"Monsterstroke" is a powerful and evocative show that blends the elegance of traditional Chinese circus with breathtaking acts. Standing upright on chairs six metres high, rapid mask changes and whips follow one another in a whirlwind of emotions, including amazement, suspense and thunderous applause. Cho Kairin, an artist from the historic Hebei school and descendant of a dynasty of acrobats, has taken his art all over the world. Winner of the Daidogei World Cup in Japan, he now performs alongside his young apprentice, keeping a centuries-old tradition alive.
At 9 p.m. in Piaz de Ramon. In case of bad weather, the show will be held at the Navalge Theatre in Moena at the same time.
"Monsterstroke" is one of the shows of the "Circen Dolomites Festival". For a whole week, from 28 July to 5 August to be precise, Val di Fassa hosts well-known street artists and talented international jugglers. Squares, museums, but also high-altitude locations are transformed into exceptional stages for amazing performances of skill and inventiveness. The festival is organised by the Fassa juggling group "Circensema", founded in 2017 in collaboration with the local association "Inout", which has been practising circus art for a number of years and also trains, together with professionals, a number of teenagers who perform in shows throughout the year, combining juggling with theatre.
