An ancient art form mixes with modern theatricality and the result is too astounding to describe. The Peking Acrobats defy logic with trick-cycling, precision tumbling, somersaulting and gymnastics. They defy gravity with displays of contortion, flexibility and control, including daring maneuvers atop a precarious pagoda of chairs. They push the envelope with juggling and balancing feats, showcasing tremendous skill and ability. And when the perform at the Kupferberg Center for the Arts on February 22, their acts will be accompanied by live musicians playing traditional Chinese instruments and high-tech special effects.
