Red Theatre is proud to celebrate the international success of the acrobatic performers from the Suining Acrobatic Troupe, whose outstanding act Brilliance – Balancing Bowls has won two major honours at the 3rd Russian Recognition International Professional Circus Awards.
The performance received both the Super Acrobatics Performance Award and Best International Circus Act of the Year, marking another important achievement for Chinese acrobatics on the international stage.
The Russian Recognition International Professional Circus Awards are organised by the Union of Circus Arts Professionals, the Great Moscow State Circus and other institutions. Recognised within the Russian and international circus community, the awards cover 18 categories, with winners selected through a combination of public online voting and final evaluation by a professional jury.
At the heart of Brilliance – Balancing Bowls is the traditional Chinese art of balancing bowls. Combining dynamic movements with moments of remarkable stillness, the performers demonstrate exceptional strength, precision and body coordination. The result is a captivating performance that brings together suspense, rhythm and the distinctive beauty of Chinese acrobatics.
The act has previously received the Acrobatics Performance Award at the 12th China Acrobatics Golden Chrysanthemum Awards, along with recognition at other international competitions. These latest honours further demonstrate the artistic quality of the performance and the growing international appreciation of Chinese acrobatic traditions.
The awards also highlighted China’s growing contribution to the international circus community. Tong Ronghua, Vice Chairman of the China Acrobats Association, Vice Chairman of the Sichuan Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and Chairman of the Sichuan Acrobats Association, was invited to serve on this year’s international jury. He also delivered a keynote speech at the accompanying forum on training the next generation of circus performers.
For Red Theatre, this achievement reflects the dedication, discipline and artistic excellence of Chinese acrobatic performers. As they continue to refine their skills and take part in international cultural exchanges, their performances will bring the beauty of Chinese acrobatics to audiences around the world.
