The Peking Acrobats

Presented by Midwest Trust Center at Johnson County Community College at Midwest Trust Center at Johnson County Community College

The Peking Acrobats | Sunday, April 21 at 7 p.m. | Yardley Hall | Part of a time-honored Chinese tradition, rooted in centuries of Chinese history and folk art. *The performance scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 18 is being postponed to Sunday, Apr. 21.*

For more than three decades, The Peking Acrobats have redefined audience perceptions of Chinese acrobatics. They push the limits of human ability and defy gravity with amazing displays of contortion, flexibility and control. The Peking Acrobats 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 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.

*The performance scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 18 is being postponed to Sunday, Apr. 21.*
