Since their debut in 1986, The Peking Acrobats have redefined audience perceptions of Chinese acrobatics. According to their website, they perform daring maneuvers atop a precarious pagoda of chairs, and are experts at treacherous wire-walking, trick-cycling, precision tumbling, somersaulting, and gymnastics. They defy gravity with amazing displays of contortion, flexibility, and control. They push the envelope of human possibility with astonishing juggling dexterity and incredible balancing feats, showcasing tremendous skill and ability.
Many of the magnificent acts that are seen today, despite their sophistication, were performed in ancient times. The history of Chinese acrobatics is rich in tradition and dates back over 2000 years.
