?Top Chinese troupe performs in T&T

by

?One of Chi­na's best song and dance troupes is due to per­form at the Na­tion­al Acad­e­my for the Per­form­ing Arts (NA­PA) again tonight af­ter a high­ly ap­pre­ci­at­ed per­for­mance at the coun­try's brand new con­cert hall last night.

Twen­ty-five mem­bers of the Tian­jin Song and Dance Troupe ar­rived in Trinidad on Mon­day for four per­for­mances in the coun­try. Af­ter tonight's per­for­mance, the troupe trav­els to San Fer­nan­do where it per­forms at the Na­pari­ma Bowl to­mor­row night. The troupe, which has trav­elled to over 30 coun­tries across the globe, ends its tour of the coun­try with a vis­it to To­ba­go where it per­forms at the Sig­nal Hill Sec­ondary School on Fri­day night. Es­tab­lished in 1959, the Tian­jin Song and Dance Troupe com­pris­es many na­tion­al-class singers and dancers and has per­formed dozens of grand mu­si­cal dra­mas in its his­to­ry.

The troupe's per­for­mances are be­ing or­gan­ised by the Chi­nese em­bassy in Port-of-Spain and the Min­istry of Com­mu­ni­ty De­vel­op­ment, Cul­ture and Gen­der Af­fairs. The vis­it is be­ing spon­sored by four Chi­nese con­struc­tion com­pa­nies op­er­at­ing in the coun­try and Soogl An­tilles. Ude­cott is pro­vid­ing sup­port for the troupe's vis­it. Chi­nese Am­bas­sador Yang You Ming said in an in­ter­view last week that since the es­tab­lish­ment of diplo­mat­ic re­la­tions be­tween T&T and Chi­na, a per­form­ing art group has vis­it­ed this coun­try al­most every year.

"There are con­tin­u­ous cul­tur­al ex­changes be­tween the two coun­tries. One of the rea­sons for this vis­it is to con­tin­ue the cul­tur­al ex­changes," said the Am­bas­sador.

Despite finding out just three days earlier—on December 23—that I had breast cancer, I still got dressed and showed up on December 26, Boxing Day, for a birthday party. I didn’t go to escape the truth. I went to remind myself I was still here, still living, still me.
