Death Defying Acts As Circus Comes To Philly, 2/22 - 27

Shaolin Warriors from China will perform 1600-year old death-defying Kung Fu Martial Arts in the newest addition of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents DRAGONS coming to the Wells Fargo Center from Thursday, February 22 through Sunday, February 27.

These unbelievable and legendary Warriors will perform truly unique acts that include twisting eight foot long metal rods, breaking six foot long wooden poles in one strike, and being lifted seven feet in the air on the points of five handheld spears.

Circus performers from the farthest reaches of the earth, including the Shaolin Warriors, have assembled for DRAGONS to showcase their astounding acts of bravery and amazing athleticism. Ringling Bros.® Ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson presides over this fantastical celebratory tournament of circus champions that brings together mystic dragon lore with authentic circus.

The anticipation builds throughout Ringling Bros. Presents DRAGONS as Children Of All Ages bear witness to one phenomenal Ringling Bros. circus act after another, from Cossack riders, to magnificent Asian elephants, fierce tigers and to the frenzied Globe of Steel. As the audience observes these and even more real world displays that pay tribute to the dragon, their continued excitement will bring glimpses of the elusive beast. But, the big question remains; what will it take to lure a true dragon from its golden lair?
