China:
Keeping the cultural tradition alive
Representing the best of a time honored tradition more than
twenty-seven centuries old in China; the Golden Dragon Acrobats are
touring the United States once again.
Coming directly from Hebei, China, these performers have been trained
rigorously in the arena of acrobatics since early childhood.
Having been around for over two thousand years, the acrobats have
become more than just a tradition, they are a favourite art form among
Chinese people. Acrobatics in general has evolved over the years into
various popular forms including dance, opera, wushu and sports. For
China, however, the traditional form of acrobatics foregoes boundaries
in an attempt to create a cultural exchange between China and Western
nations such as the United States. Acrobatic troupes including the
Golden Dragon Acrobats travel the world bringing the art and rich
cultural history of China to the masses.
Come see incredible acrobatics, Chinese traditional dance, shocking
contortionists along with jugglers and tumblers balancing human pyramids
while riding tiny bicycles.
Celebrating their 30th anniversary of continuously touring the United
States, experience the Golden Dragon Acrobats as they dazzle audiences
with their powerful award-winning performances.
Take in the wondrous tradition of a culture far older than most
countries today. The Golden Dragon Acrobats are proudly keeping their
cultural tradition alive and are excited to share the experience with
people both new and familiar to the incredible art form. This event
could inspire you to learn more about Chinese art, culture and
tradition. |
