For the first time ever, artists from the legendary imperial capital Xi’an are coming to Europe with their stunning acrobatics show. They juggle and balance, dance and jump. The unique stage show with its colorful costumes and enchanting scenery – full of passion and on highest international level – takes its visitors on a journey along the legendary Silk Road. It brings the “Rainbow over the Silk Road” into existence; far Eastern poesy and spectacular performances find their way to Europe.
Performing on tightropes, bars, seesaws, trampolines or wheels – often all simultaneously and synchronously – the artists use drums, jugs, straw hats, rugs, bowls or even lamps just as well as diabolos for their tricks.
The plot
At the auspicious days of the Tang dynasty, the emperor appoints General Li to lead a caravan to the western Regions, aiming to establish a ribbon of commerce, culture and friendship with the European and Asian countries. Fully loaded with merchandise like silk, tea and porcelain, the delegation sets off from Xi’an directed to the West.
Spacious deserts and snowy fairytale lands unfold before them like paintings, leading them to Persia. A fight of General Li and his soldiers with bandits ends in them rescuing the Roman princess Alice. A fateful encounter…
Having successfully toured the USA and Asia, the troupe is on their European tour with its 100 minute show in spring 2017, including two shows in Zagreb, on May 9 and 10. You can find the tickets here and find out more here.
