Taiji wows with variety

Review | Raymong Zhou

Taiji kicked off its global tour on Oct 11 and, judging by the audience response, what happened at Beijing's Poly Theater may well be repeated around the world. And it does not really matter whether you are familiar with this particular Chinese martial arts practice, which is also spelt as tai chi.

A 90-minute extravaganza in visual splendor and acrobatic feats, this stage performance is a reminder of those eye-popping and mind-boggling Cirque du Soleil theme shows but with a distinct Chinese twist.
