Paige and I were lucky enough to visit the performers from the Circus Mongolia Khadgaa back stage while they were about to perform at a show here in UB. Our friend Undra who we have know since last time we where in Mongolia arranged for us to visit. Undra's husband is in the circus group so it was such a thrill to meet all the people from the circus.
The Circus Mongolia was founded and initially named "Clown Studio" by the initiative of Khadgaa in 1997. Since 1980, Khadgaa has started to learn circus arts and has taught in the State Circus Mongolia. Khadgga established the Circus Mongolia by gathering the talented circus artists so he could promote the Mongolian circus arts through out the world. The shows incorporates the customs of Mongolia with a combination of national music, national costumes, dancing and acting all rolled into the one performances.
I have seen many shows around the world and this performance was just mind blowing, these circus performers are amazing in what to do. It was something I will never forget made even more special in meeting these people back stage.
