Shanghai Circus

For one night only, watch the New Shanghai Circus do things you should never attempt yourself — human juggling, swinging from silk ropes, riding one bike with 10 other people and more. Each act is the very best of China’s long and honored circus tradition, with colorful costumes and daring acrobats promising to make the experience both aesthetic and gasp-worthy. There are also subtle moments, during which performers evoke the sublime with acts of human strength and body contortion. This family-friendly performance is a delightful reminder that the seemingly impossible is possible.

Sun, Feb. 7, at 1 pm • $25; $12.50/ages 15 and under • INB Performing Arts Center • 334 W. Spokane Falls Blvd. • wcebroadway.com • 279-7000
