NATIONAL ACROBATS
OF TAIWAN

Acrobatics
All ages • Duration: 45 minutes

Get ready to flip out! Lauded as one of the most influential acrobatic troupes in the world, the National Acrobats of Taiwan deliver a spectacular performance of carnival arts that’s a whole lot more than your usual circus act.

Upholding a 2,500-year tradition of Chinese acrobatic and dramatic folk arts, brightly costumed performers use everyday items such as chairs, tables, poles and ladders to execute astounding tricks that have audiences of all ages asking “How did they do that?” Heart-pounding death dangles, surprising contortionism and daring feats of balance combine with brilliant acrobatic comedy to create an amazing display of cultural entertainment!

ACROBATES TAIWANAIS

Préparez-vous à être renversés! Reconnue comme l’une des troupes acrobatiques les plus influentes au monde, le National Acrobats of Taiwan offre une performance spectaculaire d’arts carnavalesques qui  représente beaucoup plus qu’un simple numéro de cirque habituel.

Des voltiges à vous couper le souffle, des contorsionnistes surprenants et des prouesses d’équilibre audacieuses le tout combiné avec une comédie acrobatique brillante font de ce spectacle un événement culturel à ne pas manquer!
