Highlights of a performance by the Tientsin Acrobatic Troupe from the People's Republic of China. Acrobats and jugglers have a long tradition in China. Some of the acts which are performed today were originated 2,000 years ago and many are developed from the popular folk games of feudal China. The Tientsin Acrobatic Troupe recently toured the world, bringing a combination of new and traditional acts to Western audiences.

Tonight's programme shows highlights from a performance they gave in Sweden.
