The Peking Acrobats practice extraordinary feats of balance, flexibility, and precision drawn from ancient Chinese folk traditions. The company's performers have trained rigorously in China's top schools to become experts at breathtaking and gravity-defying acts such as wire-walking, trick-cycling, tumbling, juggling, and gymnastics, that promise to astound adults and children alike. The acrobats are accompanied by live musicians playing traditional Chinese instruments, and exciting special effects add to the theatricality of a spellbinding performance.
