The Peking Acrobats
For the last thirty two years, THE PEKING ACROBATS® have redefined audience perceptions of Chinese acrobatics. They 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 push the limits of human ability, defying gravity with amazing displays of contortion, flexibility, and control. THE PEKING ACROBATS 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.
MNOZIL BRASS
Acton Theater III - The Great Race
Learn how each animal earned its place in the Chinese Zodiac by taking part in The Great Race. Which animals win the race? Why do the Rat and Cat become enemies? This re-telling of one of the most beloved tales in Chinese folklore features traditional Chinese music, Jingju and martial arts.
The Great Race centers around grandparents who are teaching their grandchildren about the Chinese New Year while they make dumplings together. The script incorporates Beijing Opera, Chinese martial arts, and Lion Dance into a re-telling of the origin story of the Chinese Zodiac.
