The Peking Acrobats perform daring maneuvers atop a precarious pagoda of chairs and display their technical prowess with trick cycling, precision tumbling, juggling, somersaulting, and gymnastics—pushing the limits of human ability, while defying gravity with amazing displays of contortion, flexibility, and control. Time-honored Chinese music accompanies the acrobats, coalescing with the high-tech special effects and awe-inspiring acrobatic feats to create an exuberant entertainment event with the festive pageantry of a Chinese carnival.
