Family Day and CIRCUS: Amphitheater of Jerudong Park (Free)
Enjoy games and activites while discovering the various cultures of Francophonie:
races, looking for the right balance all tied up in the same rope and much more family games!
A Comedy circus with incredible acrobatics, men in the air, only saved by a hand or a wire. A new show inspired by Francophonie Week and the Bruneian traditional music. A unique collaboration for a unique family show in Brunei Darussalam!
PHARE PONLEU SELPAK / CAMBODIA

PPS's action is focused on various artistic practices. Among them, circus is one of the most popular (juggling, acrobats, contortions and clowning). The most talented students formed a professional company and set up a show which has toured all around the world. This company is supported by a French association « Collectif clown d'ici et d'ailleurs » , a French association entirely dedicated to promoting shows in Europe and to enhance exchange between circus professionals. http://www.phareps.org
