The Peking Acrobats to Perform at DCA

On Tuesday, February 10, at 7 p.m., Chinese acrobatic troupe The Peking Acrobats will perform at Door Community Auditorium (DCA).

For the last 32 years, The Peking Acrobats have redefined audience perceptions of Chinese acrobatics, defying gravity with eye-popping displays of contortion, flexibility, and control. 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. The show’s high-tech special effects and awe-inspiring acrobatic feats coalesce with traditional Chinese music, performed by skillful live musicians. In China, high honor is conferred upon those skilled enough to become acrobats. The Peking Acrobats seek to uphold this ancient folk-art tradition, even as they bring it to new, 21st-century heights

The public show begins at 7 p.m. on February 10. Tickets cost $35, plus sales tax and a facility fee of $2/ticket and $6/order. Advance reservations are encouraged. The DCA box office is located at 3926 Highway 42 in Fish Creek. The box office is open Monday-Friday, 12-5 p.m. Tickets can be purchased in person, on the phone at (920) 868-2728, or online at www.dcauditorium.org.
