An amazing testament to the ability of the human body to contort and suspend itself in unlikely shapes and heights. The acrobats reminded me of early Cirque du Soleil shows (before they became gimmicky): talented artists showing off the power and beauty of the human body and stretching the limits of the imagination to new heights of wonder. I was awed by the bravery, inventiveness, and creativity employed by the artists. I couldn't help but marvel at the discipline and trust these acrobats possess -- in their own abilities and that of their peers (to catch them in mid-air / twist, on their shoulders). This show was a dazzling feat of beauty, sweat, and hard work. A joy to watch and ponder.Written on Jan 19 2009

This event was so much fun. It's great for kids. We took my 9 year old step daughter and she was enthralled. Go early to pick up your tickets at will call, the line gets really long. We came an hour and a half early which was perfect because there was no line and we got to hang out on Telegraph and grab a bite to eat before the show.Written on Jan 19 2009

Great acrobatics. We had the chance to see a similar show in Beijing, and that show was very similar to this one in Berkeley. We would recommend it.Written on May 12 2010
