The stage before the performance started.This weekend was so much fun. On Friday night we went to the Chaoyang Theater to see a Chinese acrobatics show. The show was about an hour long and it was divided into multiple "stories". One involved a love story with two couples and a lot of fancy tricks. All of the troupe members were so talented, but my favorite part was the plate spinning, it looked so cool when a whole bunch of women walked out with five plates in each hand spinning on rods. The show also included bicycle tricks, balanicng acts, all sorts of things.
One of the interesting things about the troupe is that there are a lot of small children, many under the age of 15. I wonder how they ended up being in an acrobatic troupe, was it their decision, or did their parents try to give them a better life?
