The Peking Acrobats at Genesee Theatre

For more than 30 years, The Peking Acrobats® have amazed audiences worldwide with their daring and skillful performances. The troupe showcases extraordinary talent in gymnastics, wire walking, juggling, trick cycling and precision tumbling, combining centuries-old artistry with modern flair. Their feats have earned them a Guinness World Record for the human chair stack, balancing six performers atop seven chairs, 21 feet in the air, without safety lines.

The production blends breathtaking acrobatics with vibrant costumes, traditional Chinese music, and striking special effects, creating a spectacle reminiscent of a festive Chinese carnival. Each performance highlights the acrobats’ unmatched control, flexibility, and grace, pushing the boundaries of human strength and balance. As the Chicago Tribune noted, “At no time have we seen anything like The Peking Acrobats.”
