Swan Lake, featuring the Guangdong
Military Acrobatic Troupe
Beloved both East and West, Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake” has been
re-invented for a new era by the Guangdong Acrobatic Troupe
of China. Since its premier in 2005 “Swan Lake: The Acrobatics”
has created a sensation in China, Japan, Malaysia, Russia, Germany,
Hungary, Israel, and the United States.
The Prince sees his Princess in a dream, transformed into a
swan. He travels the world seeking her and finally meets her
in the Forbidden City in Beijing. Graced with the beauty of
dance and the athleticism of acrobatics, dozens of acrobats
balance on poles, juggle balls, swing from ropes, jump through
hoops, dance and tumble to Tchaikovsky’s timeless music. Their
magic will take your breath away in a once-in-a-lifetime blending
of the best of the East and West.

Chinese acrobatics ...”
