Phare: The Cambodian Circus Show in Siem Reap

Phare, The Cambodian Circus, is performed in Siem Reap. It is a 90-minute spectacle that blends riveting theatre with folk music, captivating choreography, hypnotic colour and distinctly Cambodian stories. 

The young circus artists, many of who are from challenging social and economic backgrounds, perform skillfully as they hypnotize the audience with their energy and emotion. The charity Phare Ponleu Selpak helps vulnerable children and adults in Cambodian society.

The impressive theatre is in the historical heart of Siem Reap. The curtains part to reveal a talented troupe of acrobats and dancers who perform with sleek agility.

Phare is a spectacle that depicts Cambodian culture, history and belief.  It is a compelling combination of acrobatics, juggling, aerial arts, contortion and dance.
