Acrobatics, line dancing – even a “glow-in-the-dark dragon.”
That, and more, will be on display Saturday night at the third annual Chinese Cultural Night in the Westwood High auditorium. Lead organizer Sarina Huang says the neon dragon will light up the otherwise dark theater and that members of the Chinese Folk Art Workshop are also planning to walk the fabled creature through the audience.
“This type of program is very rare in the New England area,” says Huang, 16, a Westwood junior.
The cultural night is hosted by the Westwood Chinese Cultural Association, which Huang’s family started to promote Chinese culture in town. There are no more free tickets to be had for this year’s show in the 650-seat auditorium, but Huang says people could be let in at the last minute Saturday if there is still space free. Doors open at 7 p.m., with the show starting at 7:30.
The Chinese Folk Art Workshop, which is based in Boston, will also give line dancing and drum performances.
Among the other highlights of the night are performances by New York’s Peking Opera and by the Westwood High Wind Ensemble, which will play selections from “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.”
