The Cirque's back in town

The name Dralion is a fusion of Eastern and Western traditions (a composite of dragon and lion) and this new show from the Cirque Du Soleil team mixes Chinese and Western styles to create a circus based round the four elements of nature.

You'll find clowns, trapeze and aerial pas de deux, plus unusual acrobatics.

Royal Albert Hall Kensington Gore, SW7 (020-7838 3122). Opens Fri 9 Jan, Tue-Sun 7.45pm, Wed, Fri-Sun 3pm, ends Sun 1 Feb, £15-£52.50. www.royalalberthall.com.
