Chinese Acrobats

Cindy Dunn asked me if I would like to go to the Chinese acrobats at the Sondheim Center.   I was free by some miracle and really enjoyed the performance.
These people did some amazing things.  And the people all looked very young.  Here this man caught 6 or 7 bowls on his head, then a cup and then put a spoon in the cup all while balancing on a plank on a cylinder
This was pretty cool.  These too men moved in slow motion supporting each other in unbelievable positions.  They were wearing suits that looked like muscles and it was pretty cool.
Some of the acts were hard to capture on film as they moved too fast.
This performer must have been the star of the show.    He piled  a dozen chairs on one another and then balanced on the top of them. They made some of the audience move out of the way and he had spotters just in case.  It was pretty exciting.












This was the grand finale and everyone gave them a standing ovation.   Thanks Cindy for letting me be your friend for the night.  I had a really good time.
