Tonight I went to watch the young acrobats of the Chinese National Acrobatic Troupe. It was absolutely incredible (Except for maybe the slightly creepy clown they used to try and make a story out of the performances)!
In the photo you can see some of the young men performing their daring skills on vertical ropes. Here, some of them have hung themselves upside down with their feet while others spin around quickly while hanging on to ropes attached to their upside down friends!
There was also a beautiful performance with Chinese fans that ended with around 10 girls all on one bicycle at the same time as they cycled around the stage and another saw a group of girls doing amazing tricks with diablos. This included throwing it in the air, doing loads of somersaults across the stage and catching it again and then doing a dance routine in perfect unison...while all still throwing diablos about. I think I could get a diablo, practise every day for 2 years and not even be close to what I saw!
