Wuhan Acrobatics Troupe
The Wuhan Acrobatics Troupe, founded in September 1953, is one of
the earliest acrobatic troupes in the People's
Republic of China.
In its 50-year history, the troupe has developed a number of repertoires like
"Pagoda of Bowls and Lithe Movements", "On the Drawboard", "Trick--cycling",
"Plate--spinning", "Balancing a Pole on a Running Bicycle", "Pyramid of Chairs",
"Juggling with Feet on a Spring Bed" and "Panda Training". These programs are
presented in a magnificent, elegant and dazzling style that is full of vitality
and breathtaking skills. Some of the programs have been awarded gold medals both
home and abroad, and have been warmly welcomed by Chinese and foreign audiences.
Ever since the troupe's inception, it has successfully
inherited traditional Chinese acrobatic skills and made remarkable
innovations in the development of the art form. The troupe has always explored
its artistic potential, constantly improving its performances and endeavoring to
form a good combination of skill and art.
As a result, artistic characteristics with their own style have been
established. The spirit of surmounting and overcoming human limits have been
demonstrated in these programmes, which are both vigorous and encouraging. While
national tradition is well reflected in all of the programmes, modern elegance
is also pursued. Audiences will find the performances pleasing to both the eyes
and the mind.
The Wuhan Acrobatics Troupe of China has been traveling all over China and to
nearly 80 countries around the world. With their masterful skills, they have won
20 gold, silver and bronze
prizes both home and abroad.
