Bandar Seri Begawan - Phare Ponleu Selpak (PPS) or 'the brightness of art', a seven-member circus troupe from Cambodia arrived in Brunei Darussalam yesterday for their special performance during the Francophonie Week, which begins from today and runs until April 10.
The comedy-acrobatic-circus troupe will perform a special show called 'Network' on April 10 for the Francophonie Week 'Family Day' at the Main Amphitheatre, Jerudong Park.
The French-speaking circus troupe was greeted upon arrival by the Director of Alliance Francaise (AF) de Brunei, Anais Maro together with officials from the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports.
Phare Ponleu Selpak is a Cambodian non-governmental organisation. It aims to support community development through providing social, educative and cultural services to children and their families. Phare Ponleu Selpak implements a global approach aiming to answer children's individual needs to ensure each child is able to access his or her own rights. Each child is unique and requires specific action tailored to their needs.
According to one of the performers, the show will include "balancing on stilts, acrobatic acts as well as jumping through fire". The show is scheduled to start at 2pm on Sunday. The 'Family Day' is open to all and entrance is free.
