Calgary– Families and friends, get ready to be wowed by China’s most gifted tumblers, contortionists, jugglers and gymnasts. This year’s ENMAX Corral Show: The Peking Acrobats brings Chinese ancient folk art traditions and music to the stage with thrilling acts and displays of physical prowess.
“The Calgary Stampede is honored to present this year’s ENMAX Corral Show performance,” says Karen Connellan, director, programming. “We are thrilled to have such a world renowned show be part of the 2014 Stampede experience”.
The Peking Acrobats have sold out crowds at some of North America’s most recognized venues. Over 44,000 tickets in just three performances were sold at the Hollywood Bowl and have set the world record for Human Chair Stack in Guinness Book of World Records, by balancing six people on six chairs (21 feet in the air) without safety lines!
“ENMAX is committed to investing in the communities we serve and are proud to once again sponsor such a unique aspect of The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth,” says Karla Wingate, manager, community investment and sponsorship, ENMAX Corporation. “We believe it will be a great opportunity to share artistic multicultural traditions."
