Peking Acrobats
Overture Hall

MON, FEB 25, 2008 | 10:00 AM & 12:30 PM

Grades 4 - 12
Approximate length: 60 minutes
CURRICULUM KEY: World Culture & History, Physical Education & Movement, Theater Arts

The Peking Acrobats' spellbinding athletic feats represent a cultural tradition of superb talent and rigorous training-a legacy that has continued for more than 2,000 years. Many of the magnificent feats were performed in ancient times. The Chinese circus has its origins in the folk arts: tumbling, balancing, and juggling ordinary household objects. Myth and religion also influenced the acrobatic performing arts. Throughout the years, the acrobatic arts have been immensely popular. Today, acrobats in China are considered artists, and generations of families carry on this highly acclaimed tradition, which has become a Wisconsin favorite.
