Direct from the People's Republic of China, the Peking Acrobats return to Zellerbach Hall, one of their favorite homes-away-from-home. This elite group has toured the world since 1958, mesmerizing audiences with the amazing presentation of their ancient folk art, acrobatics. Carefully selected from the finest schools in China, these gymnasts, jugglers, cyclists, and tumblers transform 2000-year-old athletic disciplines into an all-ages kaleidoscope of entertainment. Always a huge favorite with family audiences, the show is performed amidst all the excitement and pageantry of a Chinese carnival. "The Peking Acrobats regularly passed from the seemingly impossible to the virtually unbelievable" (Los Angeles Times).
