The Peking Acrobats

Wednesday, April 9 at 7pm

Waterville Opera House

Waterville Opera House, 1 Common St, Waterville, ME

For the last 32 years, the Peking Acrobats have redefined audience perceptions of Chinese acrobatics. They perform daring maneuvers atop a precarious pagoda of chairs and display their technical prowess at such arts as 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 Peking Acrobats are often accompanied by live musicians who skillfully play traditional Chinese instruments; the time-honored Chinese music coalesces with high-tech special effects and awe-inspiring acrobatic feats, creating an exuberant entertainment event with the festive pageantry of a Chinese Carnival. In the words of Clive Davis of the New York Post, "The Peking Acrobats are pushing the envelope of human possibility,” combining agility and grace in remarkable feats of “pure artistry.”
