Chinese director Jia Zhangke casts a compassionate eye on the
daily loves, friendships and desperate dreams of the twenty-somethings
from China’s remote provinces who come to live and work at Beijing’s
World Park. A bizarre cross-cultural pollination of Las Vegas
and Epcot Center, World Park features lavish shows performed
amid scaled-down replicas of the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower,
St. Mark’s Square, the Pyramids and even the Twin Towers.
Join
us at 6:00pm for this annual tradition as we celebrate the Year
of the Dog. Featuring food and crafts from
local vendors and performances by the Mei Mei Dancers, Holy
Redeemer School's Lion Dance, University of Pennsylvania's Pan-Asian
Dance Troupe, Chinese Students Association and Penn Yo! and
much more.
