Cirque de Chine
Cirque de Chine has the mesmerized audiences proclaiming it as the best production the Smoky Mountain Palace has offered to date. The cast offers the traditional Chinese cultural acrobatics but in a very fast paced, and at times breath taking, manner. The costumes are absolutely gorgeous; the music selected not only is appropriate for the acts but actually enhances them, and the skill of the acrobats is extraordinary.
