For the third year, Chicago welcomes the elite acrobats of Cirque Shanghai who will debut the world premiere of their newest theatrical extravaganza GOLD at Navy Pier’s Pepsi Skyline Stage. Comprised of gold award winning acts on the international scene, Cirque Shanghai: GOLD is a high energy performance featuring the best acrobatic and circus performers the world has to offer and it can only be seen in Chicago! Cirque Shanghai has performed for more than 250,000 people, young and old, since it first burst upon the Chicago performance scene in 2006 and has garnered both critical and popular acclaim.
With a nod to this summer’s 2008 Olympics, Cirque Shanghai: GOLD features hand-picked performers who have been recognized as gold award winners in international circus and acrobatic competitions in China, Korea, France, Italy and Jordan. Their signature style combines time-honored Chinese acrobatic wonder with fast paced production, dazzling contemporary visuals, Broadway choreography, cirque-style costumes and thrilling music. The result is an exhilarating display of agility, strength and balance seen nowhere else in the world this summer but at Chicago’s Navy Pier.
