The big top will be pitched at Raby Castle, Staindrop, from Friday, September 1, to Sunday, September 3.
The show takes everyday objects and turns them into hi-tech acrobatic equipment.
So expect hurtling porcelain jars, dynamically spinning plates and balancing on pyramids of tables and chairs.
Organisers promise world class Chinese acrobats, aerial artistes and jugglers interacting with the physical skills and dexterity of the masters of martial arts – the legendary Shaolin Warriors.
The nonstop action is set to a soaring musical score accompanied by the rhythmic beats of Chinese percussion.
Show times for Raby Castle are 7pm on Friday, September 1; 3pm and 6pm on Saturday, September 2, and noon and 3pm on Sunday, September 3.
Tickets range in price from £12 to £36 for adults and £10 to £32 for children aged two to 12.
The box office is open on site daily from Thursday, August 31, from 10am to 8pm. Alternatively, call the booking line on 0844 4155228 or go online to www.chinesestatecir cus.com
The history of the Chinese State Circus spans 25 years when it was conceived by creative director Phillip Gandey, who became the first circus director in Europe to obtain permission from the Chinese cultural authorities to be allowed to tour a big top production of his own performed entirely by Chinese acrobats.
He said: “In our latest production we have returned to the pure and honest perfection in acrobatics upon which our reputation is based.
“We have the world class artistes capable of performing the excellence required.”
