On
the evening of 3 April, the closing ceremony of "Tianjin Week" with
acrobatics performance was held in Hong Kong Great Theatre in Culture
Center. The performance of Tianjin Acrobatics Troupe surprised the
Hong Kong audience. The whole theatre was full of the sounds of
clapping, wondering and cheering during the all programs. A native
people was surprised and said:" Tianjin originally has many so good
acrobatics shows, and I have to know a new Tianjin"
The theme of the acrobatics performance is "Heaven-Earth-Human".
"Heaven" is the beginning. In the program of "Air Man and Flying
Bar", men were flying in the air and women were dancing on the ground...
In Chinese legend, the Man is Mountain and the woman is water. Life
can be lasted forever when integrating man's robustness and woman's
tenderness. One people, two people and three people circularly and
crossly flying in dangerous situation. At last, a high difficult
level of Six-people circulation made the first climax of the performance.
The fantastic "Single Hand Upside Standing" likes a pillar to thorn
into the sky. The human's power and beauty were virtually showed
before people. The slow changing of 28 different upside standings
let people feel the life's shocking power.
"Earth" is the middle part of the performance. Under the bright
sky, lives are growing on the tender earth. The people living on
the earth happily waved the meteors, agilely played diabolos, smartly
threw their straw hats... The program is filled with joyful festival
feelings and also had the pronounced traditional features and place
customs. The audience gave bursts of understanding laughs.
The part "Human" was the end of the performance with the theme
of reflecting the development and progress of human beings. From
drilling wood to light a fire to roaming in the space; from making
pottery with clay to playing colourful porcelain, the human beings
are tempering themselves, showing themselves off and heightening
themselves. The performance thus approached to the climax. Using
the heavey colourful jars and crocks, the performers of the programme
"Carrying Jugs on Head" showed the highly difficult actions of "rolling
over the bridge", "two persons' receiving the jars with head", "two
persons' exchanging the jars with head", "catching the big jar with
neck after rolling it 360°", etc. in tacit coordination. The audiences
worried about the performers and were influenced by the warm atmosphere
as well. "Women's Springboard" was a traditional men's programme
performed by women this time instead. Through their performance,
the programme fused not only strength and flexibility, but also
the beautifulness of women's softness. The actions "sitting in the
chair after turning somersault", "double-blooming", "turning three-round
somersault", "sitting on the shoulders after a double-turning somersault",
"standing on five stages", etc. are extremely difficult. But the
excellent acting of the performers are really surprising and exciting.
Tianjin Acrobatic Troup was set up in 1957 and is one of the famous
acrobatic troups in China. At present it has over 30 repertoires
which not only are of perfect skill but also combines modern atmosphere
and clear nationality's characters together.
