Be Amazed at the Cirque De Chine show in Pigeon Forge

Reviewed by Ashley of ReserveDirect.comCirque De Chine Pigeon Forge is an entertaining show that packs a lot of action into its two hour production. The talented performers combine movement and music for a one-of-a-kind display of Eastern arts. This show amazed me from start to finish, as these performers defy gravity, pushing their skills to new heights and generally do the impossible with their bodies.

A few of the highlights of this Pigeon Forge show included the human statue routines, during which the performers twist, turn and manipulate their bodies into statue like positions. The athleticism displayed is truly impressive. The Chinese dance segment, which feature a boy and girl performing aerial acrobatics was beautiful and highlighted the grace found in acrobatics. A balancing routine, featuring female cast members, was also a standout as the performers balanced flower torches, while dancing, in their mouths. Another spectacular stunt featured the males of the group jumping through hoops, literally! They would run, jump, flip, or somersault into a stand of hoops, and at one point the hoop was five circles high which totaled 10 feet! The way these performers gracefully swooped through these small circles, and at such a height, was unbelievable. A beautiful sash routine was another highlight. The story is based on a Chinese legend, similar to Romeo and Juliet, and the artistry of the man and woman during the sash segment was truly breathtaking. From swinging high above the crowd to seamlessly working together to perform artful moves, this segment truly brought the show to new heights. Other acts during the show included extreme juggling, chair/vase balancing at unheard of heights, human catapulting and martial arts.

The incredible finale of Cirque De Chine featured the famous flying motorcycles. A giant globe filled the stage and at first one motorcycle climbed inside driving up, down and all around. Then two filled the globe, then three, then four, then five! Watching five motorcycles spin, twist and go and upside down was a great finish to the show and still has my companions and I asking “How’d they do that?”

Young and old alike are enthralled by this show. It’s an easy choice for your next Pigeon Forge vacation.
