"In their graceful efforts these brightly costumed tumblers, acrobats, cyclists, jugglers and clever clowns provide 90 minutes of family fun that infuses [life] with an extra measure of joy."
NEW YORK TIMES
Trick cycling, maneuvers atop a precarious pagoda of chairs, gorgeous silk work, precision tumbling, thrilling juggling, unbelievable contortionism, gymnastics, and more; The Peking Acrobats redefine audiences’ perception of the ancient art of Chinese acrobatics. A truly spectacular show for all ages, the grace and precision of the acrobats are the triumph of years of dedicated training and discipline. Chinese acrobatics are, in fact, more than just a series of stunts. These acts clearly demonstrate the achievement of perfection through finding harmony between mind and body.
