The Peking Acrobats®
"At no time have we seen anything like THE PEKING ACROBATS. Feats of clowning, dexterity, grace, strength and coordination rippled from the stage in a series of pleasurable waves. One was leftwaterlogged in wonder." - Chicago Tribune

'A' is for acrobats and astounding, amusing, audacious and accomplished, accurate and attractive, and admirable, all of which describe, though not completely, THE PEKING ACROBATS." - Variety

Since their debut in 1986, THE PEKING ACROBATS® have redefined audience perceptions of Chinese acrobatics. They perform daring maneuvers atop a precarious pagoda of chairs; they are experts at treacherous wire-walking, trick-cycling, precision tumbling, somersaulting and gymnastics.
