Golden Dragon Acrobats
Sunday, January 30, 2011, 3pm, Symphony Hall
Exponents of the 25-century old tradition of Chinese acrobatics, the Golden Dragon Acrobats tame gravity and fear with feats of balancing, tumbling, and startling gymnastic wizardry. They captivate audiences everywhere with the charm and swashbuckling showmanship of ancient skills such as the Dancing Plates, the Diablo Yo-Yo, and The Tower of Chairs. Don’t miss this thrilling parade of contortionists, jugglers, and dizzying, seat-wiggling entertainment.
“Paper umbrellas twirl effortlessly, held by a pair of upturned, kneading feet; plates spin three at a time atop long, slender sticks; and a man juggles balls at the top of a three-man pyramid, effortlessly dropping down to the ground afterwards to screams from the audience.”
—The New York Times
