The Lion King presented by CBP Aerial Arts exceeds expectations in Carson City performance
On Saturday, August 10, CBP Aerial Arts, an authentic and professional aerial arts studio in Gardnerville, presented its 2024 Annual Production, The Lion King, at the Carson City Community Theater, Bob Boldrick Theater.
The production featured 17 performers between 8 and 65 years old with different experience levels, going from new beginners to pre-professional aerialists with eight years of practicing this art—the impressive family show combined aerial arts, acting, dance, and martial arts.
Throughout the hour-and-a-half show, pieces of music from the Disney animated and live-action movies The Lion King and other songwriters transported the audience to Africa and immersed people into this classic story. The iconic and colorful characters, such as Simba, Nala, Timon, Pumbaa, and Scar, captivated the audience and evoked a wave of emotions.
The artistic approach of this highly professional show was as beautiful as original. The minimalist and refined costumes’ aesthetic and geometric animal heads gave the show a modern style. Projections of various backgrounds added to the uniqueness of the experience and guided the audience throughout the story. Solos, duets, trios, and group acts in aerial silks, aerial hoop, aerial moon, and on the ground told this fabulous adventure in an unprecedented way.
The audience’s expectations were greatly excited, and people’s enthusiasm for CBP Aerial Arts 2025 Annual Production was highly voiced.
