(Translated by Google) I won't comment on the show itself. Everyone will either enjoy it or not. However, it is mentioned that there's the option of having dinner before the show, street food style. But these are actually stalls inside the venue. You have to buy vouchers of a certain value in exchange for food and drinks. While the high prices can be justified by the location and the show's social commitment (it costs twice as much, after all), the quality is appalling. At least a spoonful of sugar in every dish and absolutely no flavor. Utterly tasteless. It's a shame because it's so easy to offer even just decent food. (Original) Je ne commenterai pas le spectacle. Chacun y trouvera son compte ou non. En revanche, il est précisé qu’il y a la possibilité de dîner avant le spectacle, dans le style street food. Or, ce sont des stands à l’intérieur de l’établissement. On doit acheter des coupons d’une certaine valeur en échange de nourriture et boissons. Si les prix élevés peuvent être justifiés par le lieu et l’engagement social du spectacle (le double tout de même), la qualité est pitoyable. Une louche de sucre au moins par plat et aucune saveur. Parfaitement insipide. C’est dommage car c’est si simple de proposer une cuisine ne serait-ce que correcte.

Really enjoyed this place!! I've seen reviews claiming the food is a bit pricier than the rest of the city, which I did not find to be true at all. I think it was $2US for Spring Rolls and $3US for two beers. The pre show was adorable, even though I find it quite difficult to watch children who seem overly encouraged perform. The show itself was such a happy, lively, and meaningful piece. Judging from other reviews, the show appears to change periodically. Our show was about aging, surviving and reflecting back on life while the next generation undergoes the same process. It was abundantly clear, even with minimal dialogue. Not sure there's any bad seat in the house, although they do play to the expensive seats occasionally. Thoroughly fun! And as always with modern Cambodian art, expect some dark references to the Khmer Rouge or rampant violence of the past 😅 seems inevitable at this point.

Wow!! Phare exceeded our expectations in all the best ways. The performing company is truly talented and knows the real art of circus with storytelling, tricks, emotion, and of course - clowning! The big top was packed and everyone was reacting, clapping, loving the action and beautiful story. Do not miss Phare!

(Translated by Google) An exceptional show! The artists are not only virtuoso acrobats but also moving and very funny actors. What energy! Bravo to the entire troupe, you absolutely must see Cirque Phare. (Original) Un spectacle exceptionnel !

This was definitely not on my to-do list. My travel companion had to talk me into going. I am so glad she did!! It turned out to be a wonderful, heart-warming story told with by acrobats performing to music. Very affordable and worth your time. I highly recommend and since they have rotating story lines I will definitely be back!
