|
|
The trio bicycle act performed by Zhao Yanping, Zhao Yanyang, and Zhao Yanyan represents an important chapter in the history of Chinese acrobatics' journey onto the international stage and its participation in the early international development of Cirque du Soleil. 1986, Paris, France — From International Gold to Cirque du Soleil In 1986, Zhao Yanping, Zhao Yanyang, and Zhao Yanyan represented China at the Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain in Paris, France. Their trio bicycle act, distinguished by its distinctive Chinese acrobatic style, strong technical foundation, and highly challenging bicycle skills, received international recognition and was awarded the Gold Medal. This achievement at the international festival laid an important foundation for the trio's journey onto the broader international stage. 1987 — Joining Cirque du Soleil In 1987, Zhao Yanping, Zhao Yanyang, and Zhao Yanyan joined Cirque du Soleil, becoming part of its early international cast and performing in Cirque Réinventé. From the stages of Chinese acrobatics, to the international circus festival in Paris, and then to the international stage of Cirque du Soleil, their artistic journey represents an important chapter in the history of Chinese acrobatics reaching the world stage and a valuable part of the early artistic exchange between Chinese acrobatics and contemporary international circus.
