Vietnamese artist Luu Thi Huong from the Vietnam Circus Federation won the Bronze Crown at the 2025 “Princess of Circus” International Festival held in Saratov, Russia.
The Vietnamese delegation competed with a single performance titled Cat Woman, an aerial silk act choreographed by People’s Artist Tong Toan Thang.
Huong impressed judges and international audiences with her high-level techniques and daring stunts, including aerial spins, neck suspensions, and a dramatic finale featuring a triple spiral drop and foot hang.
This year’s festival attracted hundreds of artists from 12 countries including Russia, the US, China, and Hungary, presenting 24 acts in various circus disciplines. The festival’s top awards included one Platinum, two Golds, three Silvers, and four Bronze Crowns.
People’s Artist Tong Toan Thang, also a member of the judging panel, praised the high level of artistry at the event and noted the valuable experience gained for Vietnamese performers.
Huong and her team will participate in the upcoming World Circus Idol Festival in Moscow in July and have been invited to perform in Hungary, he said./.
