A troupe of China’s most gifted tumblers, contortionists, jugglers and gymnasts, the Peking Acrobats never fail to dazzle with their spellbinding feats and daring maneuvers. Drawing on more than 2,000 years of tradition and 50 years of performing, these rigorously trained performers — armed with tremendous agility and grace — create a true cirque-style carnival of trick cycling, powerful precision tumbling and other gasp-inducing maneuvers, all of which have earned them worldwide fame, including an appearance in the hit movie Ocean’s Eleven. They’re joined by opening act Jigu! Thunder Drums of China, an awe-inspiring troupe of 28 drummers who’ve achieved international success blending traditional Chinese percussion with high-energy performance, spectacular costumes, modern music, special effects and more.
