Acrobatics

In the evening we were treated to an exhilarating Acrobatics performance in Beijing theatre. This breath taking performance kept all of us on the edge of our seats. Rich in colour and movement it was greatly appreciated by all and certainly included stunts that should not be attempted at home! Unfortunately photos or video of the show are not to be taken by the audience, however, we were able to purchase a DVD of the show. The performers derive from only three or four families from all of China and commence their formation as acrobats from the time that they can walk. A number of the members of these families make-up the National Acrobatics team of China that recently won the gold medal at the World Championships.
