The Peking Acrobats - The Lyric Theatre
The Peking Acrobats Family Fun Series Program Proudly Sponsored by The Bauman Family Foundation Since its founding in 1986, the Peking Acrobats have redefined our perceptions of the ancient art. They perform daring maneuvers atop a precarious pagoda of chairs and display their technical prowess at trick-cycling, precision tumbling, juggling, somersaulting, and gymnastics. They push the limits of human ability, defying gravity with amazing displays of contortion, flexibility, and control. The traditional Chinese music combined with high-tech special effects and awe-inspiring acrobatics to create an entertainment event with the festive pageantry of Chinese Carnival. The Peking Acrobats are part of a Chinese tradition rooted in centuries of the country’s history and folk art. Tradition says that each generation of acrobats must add its own improvements and embellishments to what has come before.
