(Translated by Google) At the high school level, acrobatics and that's it, you can give up. (Original) ברמה של בית ספר תיכון, אקרובטיקה וזהו, אפשר לוותר

(Translated by Google) An unusual experience, a one-hour non-stop show by a single team of young acrobats, actors, and dancers who combine action, humor, and emotion through a fresco retracing the recent history of Cambodia. Halfway between a musical comedy and a circus, great art! (Original) Une expérience peu commune, un spectacle d'une heure non-stop par une seule et même équipe de jeunes acrobates, acteurs et danseurs à la fois qui mêlent action, humour et émotion à travers une fresque retraçant l'histoire récente du Cambodge. À mi chemin entre une comédie musicale et du cirque, du grand art!

These performers are absolutely amazing with such fun and vibrant energy. The stunts are seriously impressive and the story telling is both emotional and heartfelt. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and was more than happy to spend the money to support these talented people and the school. I highly recommend everyone to go.

(Translated by Google) It certainly can't be compared to the Cirque du Soleil; the actors give it their all, but mistakes happen. Of course, for $18, I would have expected more. (Original) Non si può certo paragonare al Circque du Soleil; gli attori si impegnano al massimo ma gli errori capitano. Certo che per 18 USD mi sarei aspettato altro.

I gotta admit, I wasn’t particularly impressed by the show. Some of the acrobatics are quite impressive but it’s more of a play than a circus. It’s a lot of money for what it is and the seats are very hard.

Oh my goodness...what an excellent performance by all. Please go and treat yourselves to this if you can. Such brilliant story-telling acted out too. Highly recommended.

The circus was a great experience. They did an amazing artistic performance and had a nice storyline related to the Cambodian history. It was very moving. I also liked that they had different kinds of arts presented, including painting. The best thing is that the cirus supports the local people through the non-profit school.

If you only do one more thing on your Angkor Wat visit, this circus must be it. Local youngsters are trained with circus skills, music, tech, hospitality, management, all sorts. This centre gives them a good start. Plus, it's a really good circus! The gymnasts tell a story in music and gymnastics (there are no circus animals). They lend you a fan. The best souvenir shop in town sells attractive and locally made art, jewellery, pictures and quality souvenirs. It's mostly child friendly, but they do of course touch metaphorically on the suffering and genocide of 1970s. But then, western circuses usually have a scary baddie, don't they? There were plenty of European under-11s there on our visit , who seemed to enjoy the whole thing.

Okay I came here with a LOT of expectations. It has won the guineas world record etc etc. FIRST MISCONCEPTION- it did NOT get the world record because of skill or entertainment but it apparently ran a show for 24 hours straight and thus got a record for worlds longest running circus in some year. PERIOD. That pretty much the ONLY impressive thing about this circus. The stunts are good but nothing out of the ordinary. It’s more of a story telling kind of a show where through acts they show the life Cambodian people have lived through the civil war. The energy of the circus is good, lots of music and in general very high spirited performers. NOW would I come to Cambodia and think of seeing this- NO But if I have time and money would I come here to kill time- YES The only noble thing is when you do visit such places you support an economy that is struggling.

Of all the things you could do, I suggest you put this circus on your list. We are full-time travelers so do not do a lot of " tourist attractions," but this is just plain fun. Not only are the acrobatics impressive, but there is also a story that you can follow even if you do not speak the language. And one of the best things? Be sure you get there early and take advantage of their local food selection! You buy coupons and use those coupons to purchase the variety of food which is very delicious. They also have alcohol and soft drinks too. It might cost you $15 for two people, but it was worth it. On the way in you go through the gift shop, like many gift shops in town, but this one does have some pretty unique items. My wife fell in love with a pair of blue earrings as well as a necklace, and it's good to know that our purchase money goes towards supporting the school to help the kids learn these skills to help them as they get older.

(Translated by Google) We went to see "Sokha" What can I say? Wow! I was blown away by the acrobatic feats, the music, and the artists' blend of humor and emotion. The story touched me! It was very moving! I recommend it without hesitation. (Original) Nous avons été voir « Sokha » Que dire ? Wouah ! J’ai été bluffé par les exploits d’acrobaties, par la musique, par les artistes mêlants humours et émotions. L’histoire m’a touché ! C’était très émouvant ! Je recommande sans hésitation.

This is an exceptional performance with an important storyline that transcends language. The music and performers were very talented. I enjoyed this more than seeing Cirque du Soleil in Vegas! Opt for the reserved seats for a few more dollars and a front row show, plus a free water bottle. Come early to try the drinks and street food.
