The Chinese Golden Acrobats

I saw The Chinese Golden Acrobats on January 27, 2007 at the Center for Performing Arts located at Governors State University.

Genre: Acrobats

The Chinese Golden Acrobats had 8 different acts. A couple of my favorites were act 2 and act 7. Act 2 had umbrella juggling, ball juggling, and hat tricks. The umbrella juggling was really cool. What they did was they had umbrellas of coarse and they sat upside down on chairs and they started to juggle the umbrellas on there feet. Ball juggling was really good too. They pretty much did the same as the umbrellas, except they used balls instead. I think the hat tricks was the best of all. There were about 7 guys who each had a set of 3 hats. When they juggled the hats; it was not the same as regular juggling. When the hat was supposed to go into the air, the hat went on the persons head. They all did some spectacular things.

Another one of my favorites was act 7, the tower of chairs. There was a person who had a base at the front of the stage and had 2 chairs already put on there. What the guy did was he stood one handed on the top of the chairs, and then when he was done he put another chair on top of another, until he got up to 6 chairs. His feet were almost touching the ceiling. He then did something I couldn’t believe. He put the chair diagonal and still he was able to stand on it one handed.

***** I give this performance 5 out of 5 stars. I loved this performance a lot because all the performers were really flexible and muscular. I think anybody would love to see this performance. Here is a link to their site http://www.goldendragonacrobats.com/AAPI/News.html
