Mark your calendars. Phare Circus tours Montreal and New York City this winter.<\/p>\n
We’re bringing the contemporary circus production “White Gold” for this cultural performance’s very first North America appearance. The show will run from November 22 to December 1 at La Tohu in Montreal, and December 7 to December 30 at the New Victory Theater in New York City.<\/p>\n
Don’t miss this opportunity to catch the world-renowned Phare, The Cambodian Circus performing in North America.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhite Gold\u201d<\/a> follows an individual and his community as they balance the demands of the modern world, community and Buddhist teachings of moderation.<\/p>\n \u201cWhite Gold\u201d refers to the role of rice in Cambodia. The story begins with a celebration of people\u2019s respect for rice. After damaging his father\u2019s mandala by accident, our leading character finds himself thrown from his village, into a world where rice becomes commerce and hard labor. As the community\u2019s values shift towards monetary interest, they find themselves plunged into competition, jealousy, greed, self-interest.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Dates: Nov 22 – Dec 1, 2023<\/p>\n Located in the heart of the Cit\u00e9 des arts du cirque, TOHU<\/a> is a place for dissemination, creation, experimentation and convergence between culture, environment and community involvement.
