Shanghai: Journey Through Time and Space Acrobatics Show B Seat

Experience a mesmerizing acrobatics show in Shanghai. Witness a blend of art and storytelling as performers defy gravity and showcase incredible skills.
Step into a Shanghai performance venue and experience a stunning fusion of acrobatics and art. This millennia-spanning oriental legend uses human physical limits and light-and-shadow magic to paint a breathtaking stage picture.
Inside, dark golden gear installations blend with old Shanghai alley projections, building an immersive atmosphere. The lights dim abruptly, a spotlight locks onto the high aerial cable, and the audience holds its breath as the performer taps the cable with his toe. Stretching his arms like butterfly wings, he walks calmly on the narrow cable. With precise waist and abdomen strength, he stabilizes against slight sways— the cable beneath him feels like a bridge connecting time and space. In the background, ancient painting immortals and modern neon alternate, reviving the "cable-walking opera" of old in a vivid modern form.
The most stunning segment is "Balance in Flowing Water". A clear water curtain pours down, and the performer stands barefoot on a narrow underwater board, holding a tray with five stacked candles. As waves sway, he adjusts his center of gravity with bent knees, keeping the tray steady. Candle flames flicker but never extinguish; when he lowers the tray to the water surface, candle and water shadows merge, and applause nearly drowns the water flow— a vivid interpretation of the oriental "coexistence of water and fire" philosophy through extreme control.
Mid-show, "Flying Trapeze" elevates acrobatic strength and beauty. Two performers swing alternately on the high trapeze. At its peak, one releases, streaking like a meteor; the other catches him accurately, and they spin mid-air before landing safely. No safety ropes— just muscular power and tacit eye contact. The swirling starry backdrop evokes ancient "ball-juggling and sword-dancing" stunts, now more thrilling than ever.
The show’s emotional core lies in the seamless blend of skill and feeling. For the finale, plain-clad performers form a three-layer human pyramid. The top teenager supports himself with one arm, unfolding silk that shimmers with mountain and river patterns under the lights. As the pyramid rotates, it resembles the famous ancient Chinese painting "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains" coming to life. No dazzling effects— just polished muscle memory and team trust. The audience falls into a long silence, then erupts in thunderous applause.
