Viet Nam wins Grand Prix prize at int”l circus festival
August 17, 2011 about Uncategorized
The audience gave a standing ovation when Co and Nghiep performed an incredible move: one man stood on his head, which was amazingly balanced on the head of the other man standing on his feet. They were supported only through their own arms gripping one another.
This was the first time in 20 years that Vietnamese artists have attended an international festival in Cuba.
Since its establishment in 1981, the annual international circus festival has drawn a large number of artists from many countries such as China, Russia, Mongolia and Spain. This year’s event attracted more than 100 artists from 14 countries.
Vu Ngoan Hop, Director of the Vietnamese Circus Federation, said that young Vietnamese artists have won such honourable prizes because of their outstanding performances. They have also helped introduce Viet Nam and its people to international friends. Photo:Chuck Kuhn
On the occasion, Viet Nam’s ambassador to Cuba, Vu Chi Cong, held a special meeting with the circus performers to congratulate them on their success at the international competition.
