CAPA presents the Peking Acrobats at the Palace Theatre, 34 W. Broad St., at 8 p.m. Tuesday Feb. 23.
Since their debut in 1986, the Peking Acrobats have redefined audience perceptions of Chinese acrobatics. They perform daring maneuvers atop a precarious pagoda of chairs and are experts at feats of daring — trick-cycling, precision tumbling, somersaulting and gymnastics.
Accompanied by live musicians skillfully playing traditional Chinese instruments and high-tech special effects that coalesce with the music, the Peking Acrobats produce an event which infuses the excitement and festive pageantry of a Chinese carnival with explosive energy.
The history of Chinese acrobatics is rich in tradition and dates back over 2,000 years, beginning with the folk arts of tumbling, juggling ordinary household objects and balancing.
The Peking Acrobats have been featured on numerous television shows and specials and were also featured in Ocean’s 11, Ocean’s 12 and Ocean’s 13. The troupe was also featured at the Hollywood premiere party of Ocean’s 13, showcasing their incredible acrobatic feats to a star-studded audience.
Tickets are $42.50, $32.50, $30 and $25 and are available at the Ohio Theatre Ticket Office, 39 E. State St., all Ticketmaster outlets, and www.ticketmaster.com.
