The Chinese Golden Dragon Acrobats performed their Cirque Ziva routine at Harrison Auditorium on April 3, 2014. The acrobats amazed the crowd by balancing, contorting, and juggling all over the stage. A performer known as the "Chair Guy" was a favorite as he balanced on his wrist atop six stacked chairs raised high above the stage floor. The performance featured acts of headbalancing, contortion, umbrella juggling, and foot juggling that defied gravity and left the audience in stunned applause. A student who attended enjoyed the beautiful and exotic music as well as the thrilling and dangerous nature of the acts.
