Fox Theatre hosting high-flying feats of physical daring

Cirque D’Or, the popular Chinese acrobatics and aerial arts show touring the country, pulls into Fox Tucson Theatre for a pair of shows this weekend.

The show, described as an “electrifying and mesmerizing … thrill-a-minute spectacular,” is akin to the popular Cirque du Soleil — a circus full of extraordinary athletes capable of mind-boggling physical feats including wrapping themselves into a pretzel or stacking several performers one body on top of another, four, five high and each stretched out in a different direction to create a shape reminiscent of the star-shaped “jacks” you played with as a kid.
