"Stunning motion, costume and sound, direct from China."
Hailing from the People’s Republic of China, The Peking Acrobats® have for decades been diplomats of their spirited culture. Since 1958, this elite group has toured the world over, leaving audiences spellbound by the graceful presentation of their ancient folk art, acrobatics. Carefully selected from the finest acrobat schools in China, these gymnasts, jugglers, cyclists and tumblers transform 2000-year-old athletic disciplines into an all-ages kaleidoscope of entertainment and wonder.
This outstanding troupe remains the largest of its kind and performs under the direction of International Asia, Inc., renowned the world over as the premiere directors of international Chinese acrobatic touring shows and boasting three generations of Chinese acrobatic performers. In addition to live musical accompaniment from an exotic Chinese orchestra, the Acrobats now travel with one of the most comprehensive tech packages on the road today including an intelligent lighting system, ground fog and other special effects.
The Peking Acrobats are available for their annual North American Tour, January - May with feature-length and school performances. The Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats® (smaller troupe of acrobats) are available for their annual North America Tour, September - December. (Summer availability, as well as Corporate and festival shows may also be arranged with varying company sizes.)
"The Peking Acrobats® regularly passed from the seemingly impossible to the virtually unbelievable." --Los Angeles Times
"Amazing! Zounds! The vocabulary of exclamation seeks expression as the medium of awed and surprised reaction to the wondrous feats of THE PEKING ACROBATS! In their graceful efforts these brightly costumed tumblers, acrobats, cyclists, jugglers and clever clowns provide 90 minutes of family fun that infuses springtime in New York with an extra measure of joy." --New York Times
