For more than 60 years, the National Acrobats of the People’s Republic of China have been masters of performance art, carrying on cultural traditions, some tracing back two thousand years, of acts of balance, strength and artistry. This week, they return to California to amaze and delight with their brand new show, a collection of gravity-defying aerialist feats, biology-defying body contortionism, and physics-defying displays of graceful strength. If you adore Cirque du Soleil shows, this is right up your stunt-loving alley. It's a feast for the imagination—don't miss this incredible show, if only to catch the brain-melting spectacle of their plate-spinning act.
