Direct from Beijing, The National Acrobats of The People�s Republic of China are poised to balance, swing, and soar through the Port Theatre for three unforgettable performances!

Founded in 1951, The National Acrobats of the People's Republic of China has been one of the most acclaimed acrobatic troupes in China. Over several generations, the Company has developed many unique acrobatic acts like �Global Motorcycling�, �Kicking Bowls to Heads on High Unicycles�, �Russian Bars In Chinese Traditional Style�, �Chinese Poles In Shaolin Style�, �Diving Through Moving Hoops�, �Aerial Bungee Tumblings�, and �Aerial Tissue Flowers�. These acts (and many others) have been enjoyed and praised by Chinese and foreign audiences for decades. Since its inception in 1951, there have been more than two hundred artists of the Company that have won the gold and silver awards at international and national acrobatic competitions and circus festivals.

For its 2014 North American tour, the Company will bring a brand new production that will continue to amaze and astound audiences.
