Phare Circus Reviews

It’s a modern take of a traditional storyline and the incredible skills shown by acts of the circus is mind blowing. I was thoroughly entertained by the performers which includes a series of stunts, comedy, dancing and music. Apart from the entertainment, Phare is also a social enterprise that provides training and jobs – so know that your visit here helps lift countless Cambodian families out of poverty. Definitely a recommended 10/10 experience.

 

The Phare Circus is really one of the show that must see in Siem Reap. Its really really nice and worthwhile the pay. Me and my family enjoy it from the start. Its amazing to see how the artist perform in a small stage show and the energy level can see throughout the act. Its mixed with some story which have a translation where we can read from screen panel.
