Brantford, ON… Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts presents THE PEKING ACROBATS® on Wednesday April 2 at 2:00 & 8:00 p.m.
THE PEKING ACROBATS®, a troupe of China's most gifted tumblers, contortionists, jugglers, cyclists, and gymnasts complemented by live musicians playing traditional Chinese instruments will bring their 2,000-year-old tradition of acrobatics to North America for an extensive tour of North America, including many cities in Canada. Their Twenty-Eighth North American Tour will begin in January 2014 and continue through April 2014.
THE PEKING ACROBATS played to sold-out houses and earned rave reviews during their previous twenty-seven headline Theatre Tours from 1986 through 2013. THE PEKING ACROBATS thrilled audiences of all ages.
As an added treat for their 2014 North American Tour, THE PEKING ACROBATS are joined on stage by drum and percussion virtuosos, JIGU! THUNDER DRUMS OF CHINA. The performers in JIGU!, which in Chinese means to touch or beat the drum, literally make music with drums and percussion, and are an innovative new addition to this year’s tour of THE PEKING ACROBATS. Hailing from the Shanxi Province in China, this world-renown company of drummers, percussionists, and musicians has toured North America many times before, and thrilled audiences around the globe with their awe-inspiring performances. They will add a full-tilt sensory dimension to THE PEKING ACROBATS performances, as you can feel their incredible music inside your soul as they play! Audiences will be immersed in a wonderland of sight and sound, swept away by the incredible drumming power and astounding musicianship displayed by the talented performers of JIGU! THUNDER DRUMS OF CHINA.
THE PEKING ACROBATS have performed the world over for more than twenty-five years to standing ovations and packed houses, including such far-reaching corners of the globe as Australia, Europe, throughout the Americas, the Middle East, Africa, and numerous Asian countries. Now, over 2,000 years of tradition, perfection, spectacle, and awesome entertainment comes to Brantford - are you ready to be amazed?
