Show Shanghai to the world, six highlights to take you on a dream journey

Highlight One: Graceful Dance in the Air

The “Trembling Bar Act,” which has won the prestigious “Oscar of Acrobatics,” the Golden Clown Award, among many other domestic and international awards, thrills audiences with its heart-pounding, high-difficulty stunts. The performers execute flips and maneuvers on a narrow bar only about twenty centimeters wide, making for a highly entertaining spectacle.

Highlight Two: Chasing the Moonlit Clouds

In the traditional aerial double trapeze act, a ground-level water tank prop has been added. The female performer descends from the aerial trapeze into a transparent water tank, performing elegant synchronized swimming-style movements in the water, and is then lifted back into the air by the male performer on the trapeze to continue the aerial performance. The combination of underwater and aerial elements creates a multi-layered display of difficulty and beauty.

Highlight Three: Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves

Combining a giant trampoline suspended in mid-air with an aerial wave bridge flying act, performers bounce and somersault on the trampoline, relay on the aerial swings, and leap directly from the trampoline to the aerial rings, increasing the difficulty of the stunts. The action is thrilling and breathtaking, with a constant stream of exciting moments.

Highlight Four: Messengers of Peace

The combination of pigeons and a female trapeze act can be considered a first in China and internationally. The performers from the Shanghai Acrobatic Troupe have prepared for this act for 5 years. The graceful flight of the pigeons is intertwined with the elegant aerial movements of the female performer. At its peak, up to 7 pigeons dance in the air alongside the actress, creating a romantic and beautiful scene that symbolizes peace and love.

Highlight Five: Extreme Youth

Combining extreme sports like rollerblading and BMX, which are popular among young people, with acrobatic movements. Girls perform on upright bicycles as if walking on flat ground, while boys leap from the audience seats on bicycles, and other performers on rollerblades soar over them. With the addition of cool lighting and music, the performance fully encapsulates the spirit of youth.

Highlight Six: Immersive Experience

The use of 3D multimedia projections brings natural landscapes, urban streets, and fantastical realms to the stage. The innovative stage machinery allows performers to appear before the audience from unexpected places at any time. The integration of high-tech stage effects with the performance creates an immersive and extraordinary viewing experience for the audience.

The costume design, which blends French fashion with traditional Chinese elements, brings additional brightness to the stage. The luxurious Rococo style is combined with flowing ancient Chinese-style long dresses, the intricate buttoning of Chinese cheongsams with the corseted waist of French court style, and the silhouette leather jackets with Chinese dragon totem prints. The acrobatic stage can also be very fashionable.

The original music for each program is tailored to fit the specific acts, ranging from trendy hip-hop and tango dance rhythms to romantic vocal ballads. The music seamlessly blends traditional Chinese instruments like the guzheng, erhu, matouqin, shakuhachi, gong, and drum with Western instruments such as the piano, harp, and violin, showcasing a global musical style. It is both Chinese and worldly, much like the city of Shanghai, which is beautifully enriched by its diversity and inclusivity.
