Circus festival hits the streets of Brussels

The acrobats expressed interest in taking their show to China. "We are really curious about how it would be in China," Mortier said.

"The architecture is different there", said Thomas Decaesstecker, another acrobat of the show, "so it will also be a nice challenge for us to adapt to the Chinese environment".

"If we were invited, we'd like to go, and with a lot of pleasure," said Mortier. "I think Chinese audiences would adore the performance."
