"Amazing! Zounds! …these brightly costumed tumblers, acrobats, cyclists, jugglers and clever clowns provide 90 minutes of family fun."  -  New York Times

 

Since their debut in 1986, the Peking Acrobats have redefined audience perceptions of Chinese acrobatics. They perform daring maneuvers atop a precarious pagoda of chairs; they are experts at treacherous wire-walking, trick-cycling, precision tumbling, somersaulting and gymnastics. They defy gravity with amazing displays of contortion, flexibility and control. They push the envelope of human possibility with astonishing juggling dexterity and incredible balancing feats, showcasing tremendous skill and ability. They are masters of agility and grace. Accompanied by live musicians skillfully playing traditional Chinese instruments and performing high-tech special effects, as well as awe-inspiring feats, The Peking Acrobats provide exuberant entertainment with all the excitement and festive pageantry of a Chinese Carnival!
