The Pinedale Fine Arts Council brought the Peking Acrobats to Pinedale on Wednesday, February 5th for a breathtaking performance by acrobatic athletes from China. Their performance began with live musicians entertaining the audience with playing traditional Chinese musical instruments.
The main performance involved male and female acrobats who performed graceful and daring maneuvers including amazing balancing feats, precision tumbling and back flips, juggling, graceful gymnastic maneuvers suspended high above the stage floor from ribbons and hoops, multi-level stacked human balancing formations, and death-defying balancing feats on a moving bicycle. One of the most amazing feats was a daring man building and climbing a tall tower of precariously stacked chairs and balancing himself high atop in graceful gymnastic positions, all without a safety line.
The troupe also gave a special performance the day before to students in Big Piney. PFAC gives special thanks to the Ruth and Vernon Taylor Foundation, Tegeler & Associates, Don Kendall, Sublette BOCES #1, Wyoming Arts Council, Sublette County Recreation Board, and the Town of Pinedale Lodging Tax in helping support this program.
