Phare, the Cambodian Circus - New Show

Have questions or resources regarding Khmer Culture? This forum is all about the Kingdom of Cambodia's culture. Khmer language, Cambodian weddings, French influence, Cambodian architecture, Cambodian politics, Khmer customs, etc? This is the place. Living in Cambodia can cause you to experience a whole new level of culture shock, so feel free to talk about all things related to the Khmer people, and their traditions. And if you want something in Khmer script translated into English, you will probably find what you need.

Cambodia congratulates circus troupe on winning Guinness World Record
By Xinhua Published: Nov 20, 2022 06:46 PM

Cambodia's Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts on Saturday congratulated a local circus troupe on being recorded in the Guinness Book of Records for achieving the world's "longest circus show."

In a news release, the ministry said the Guinness World Records announced in a livestream on Thursday that the world's "longest circus show," 24 hours, 10 minutes and 30 seconds, was achieved by the Phare Ponleu Selpak, a local nonprofit circus organization, during a performance in northwest Battambang Province between March 7 and March 8, 2021.

"Congratulations on your hard work as well as professional genius. May you all continue your mission successfully," Minister of Culture and Fine Arts Phoeurng Sackona said in a statement.

The Phare Ponleu Selpak said in a press release that the Guinness World Records officially granted the title to the organization after they completed their year-long assessment of 131 pages and 25 videos of evidence.

The Guinness World Records said on its website that the Phare Ponleu Selpak is an organization founded by Cambodian refugees to help children through war traumas and to restore the country's culture and education.
