NORWICH – This attraction has been called “incredible,” “breathtaking,” “stunning,” and “quite unbelievable,” to quote just a few of the critics. The Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats have taken the world by storm and continue to do so on this, their 32nd North American Theatre Tour. The Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats will appear at The Martin W. Kappel Theater at the Chenango County Council of the Arts, Norwich, on Thursday, Nov. 10 at 7 p.m.

Produced by IAI Presentations, Inc., The Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats offers more than a glimpse into the fascinating traditions of the Orient. It consists of sensational Chinese acrobatics, balancing feats, martial arts displays, and much more. A truly Oriental spectacular and a show for all ages, the grace and precision of the acrobats are the triumph of years of dedicated training and discipline. Chinese acrobatics are, in fact, more than just a series of stunts. Most of these acts clearly demonstrate the achievement of perfection through finding harmony between mind and body - an ancient concept in the Orient. The art has been formed by centuries of tradition.

This sensational group has performed throughout South America, Central America, Southeast Asia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Monte Carlo, Canada, New Zealand, Israel, Canada, and the United States. Besides appearing on many TV specials, The Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats have also been seen on the Family Channel’s “Home & Family Show,” KTLA’s “Good Morning - LA” and New York One News. They have also been seen on CNN, where they were interviewed by Christiane Amanpour, as well as Calgary’s “Big Breakfast” morning show on the A-Channel in Canada. They have met many celebrities and dignitaries over the years, including former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Roslyn.
