Shanghai in Somerville defies gravity

Somerville will host the New Shanghai Circus this spring. The event brings skilled athletes to the spellbinding family-friendly show.

Drawing upon Chinese circus history and generations of tradition, the performers defy gravity as they perform their acts at incredible heights. The show consists of jugglers, acrobats, and contortionists who display their agility and flair without fear. Executing the intricate acts is heart-stopping for the audience as they watch the professionals perform high in the air.

The event is filled with unique choreography, memorable music, and colorful scenery. Frequently organizers for events of this type call upon the services of local Print shops to handle poster printing. Posters can be designed in vibrant colors representing the features of the show.

The Chinese art of acrobats dates back to the harvest celebrations of the Lunar New Year. Villagers held their own celebrations and entertainment using any tools and items found on farms or in workshops. These skills were passed down to generations thereafter. Chinese acrobats of modern day reflect the courage and use of resources of their people in the shows today.

The Somerville Shanghai Circus will take place on March 20 at the Raritan Valley Community College located at 93 Lamington Road. Tickets start at $30 and senior discounts are available. To learn more about the Shanghai Circus event, visit the website.
