A
s a culture — maybe as a species — we lack lengthy attention spans. (Squirrel!) We’re apt to forget entertainment sensations before the next iPhone update. That makes a 30th anniversary tour pretty remarkable. Imagine — gymnasts, trick cyclists, tumblers and jugglers practicing a 2000-year-old tradition of Chinese acrobatics and managing to wow international audiences for three decades running. The Peking Acrobats bring their family-friendly, gasp-inducing physical precision and daring feats to Popejoy Hall (203 Cornell NE) at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 16. Minted in 1986 but consistently innovating, the show includes musicians playing traditional Chinese instruments such as the pipa and the dizhi. Specialized light effects and silky costumes enhance showmanship and the carnival atmosphere. Tickets range from $20 to $49. Visit popejoypresents.com soon, because they’re going fast.
