Cirque D'Or Featuring the Golden Dragon Acrobat's June 19, 2010

For more than twenty-seven centuries Chinese acrobats have been thrilling audiences, making it the "longest running" folk art form in history. In China acrobats are revered much the same way prima ballerinas and opera singers are in the West. The performers of the GOLDEN DRAGON ACROBATS represent the best of this honored tradition, mixing award-winning acrobatics, traditional dance, spectacular costumes and ancient and contemporary theatrical techniques to present a show of breathtaking skill and spellbinding beauty.

The GOLDEN DRAGON ACROBATS have become the world's leading Chinese acrobatic troupe, performing more than any other company. Their dedication has brought their company from Cangzhou, Hebei province in China, around the world to all 50 states and over 65 countries on five continents, including performances at such prestigious venues as the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Germany's Elspe Festival, the Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Seattle Children's Festival.
