ABOUT
Daring maneuvers atop a precarious pagoda of chairs…a kaleidoscope of magnificent movement...powerful precision tumbling, somersaulting, and gymnastics...amazing displays of contortion, flexibility and control...astonishing foot juggling dexterity...incredible balancing feats showcasing tremendous skill and ability...extraordinary exhibitions of agility and grace...beautiful costumes and high-tech special effects - all with the excitement and festive pageantry creating the atmosphere of a Chinese Carnival!! This is just part of the magnificent show offered by THE PEKING ACROBATS® from the People's Republic of China. THE PEKING ACROBATS return to North American soil for their 35th North American Tour in 2025, the Chinese Year of the Snake, which is an ancient symbol of abundance, spirituality, good fortune and a strong life force, or in Chinese, a person’s “Chi”. Abundance and strength are indeed the watchwords for this incredible show, as THE PEKING ACROBATS continue to impress audiences with their unique brand of ancient artistry.
THE PEKING ACROBATS offers more than a glimpse into the fascinating traditions of the Orient. It consists of sensational Chinese acrobatics, comedy, balancing feats and much more. A truly authentic Oriental spectacular and a 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. Most of these acts clearly demonstrate the achievement of perfection through finding harmony between mind and body - an ancient concept in the Orient. The art form has been transformed from its simple “folk-art” roots, to the spectacular entertainment event we see today, by centuries of tradition.
Each artist in THE PEKING ACROBATS displays a range of demanding performances, most of them typifying the Chinese Circus, offering a refreshing alternative to the usual Western traditions of performance.
From the dangerous climbing chair stack high above the audience, about which the New York Times said, “these acrobats provide feats of circus art that reach breathtaking heights of skill,” to the gravity defying contortionists and tumblers, to the spectacular Bicycle Pagoda where multiple performers ride atop a single performer on the bicycle - all this and more completes a marvelous and exciting entertainment event for theatre going “youngsters” from nine to ninety-two…as Variety once raved, “A is for Acrobat…and astounding…and AMAZING!”
