What is Vietnamese Bamboo Circus?

Born in Vietnam, the Vietnamese Bamboo Circus transforms a single material—bamboo—into a spectacular combination of acrobatics, dance, live music, and storytelling.

Every prop on stage is made entirely from bamboo, from the giant basket boats and towering poles to the traditional tribal musical instruments. The performance takes place inside a remarkable bamboo-clad theater located in the heart of Hoi An Ancient Town.

What to Expect?

Arrive at Hoi An Lune Center up to 30 minutes before showtime. Enjoy a complimentary local drink, soak up the atmosphere, and prepare for an authentic Vietnamese cultural experience unlike any other.

During the 60-minute performance, you’ll be transported into the mystical world of Vietnam’s Central Highlands, discovering stories of hunting, ancient rituals, love, and tribal mythology.

Many of the performers come from Vietnam’s ethnic minority communities, sharing their own heritage through daring acrobatics, contemporary dance, and live traditional music.
