Whether you're yearning for another Cirque du Soleil performance, looking for some way to occupy the rugrats for an afternoon or searching for a grease man for your latest casino heist, the Peking Acrobats are ready, willing and able to come through on all fronts.
The legendary troupe--which consists of more than 20 contortionists, tumblers, jugglers and gymnasts--has been touring the world for the past two decades, constantly pushing the envelope of physical possibility.
Often described as "Cirque du Soleil with attitude," the Acrobats dispense with the meandering "artsy" segments that tend to slow the pace of Soleil pieces.
Instead they choose rapid-fire segues that barely give the audience a chance to remove their chins from the floor before nailing another jaw-dropping feat. (Joshua Valocchi)
