Performance of 'Moving Forbidden City'
to highlight celebration of Chinese New Year

The Association of Chinese Students & Scholars at Yale (ACSSY) will mark the start of the "Year of the Pig" with a celebration at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 25, in Woolsey Hall, corner of College and Grove streets.

In the first half of the program, Yale students and professional musicians will present Chinese folk dance and traditional music, both vocal and instrumental.

The second half will feature a fashion show and performance piece called "The Moving Forbidden City," reflecting Chinese architecture, history and culture, using images of the Forbidden City as a backdrop. A troupe of professional performers, visiting the United States on behalf of the Chinese government to promote the 2008 Beijing Olympics, will present "The Moving Forbidden City."

Tickets are $20 and $15; discounts are available for seniors, children and those with Yale I.D.s.

The ACSSY is an organization of Chinese graduate and professional students and scholars at Yale that promotes cultural exchange. For more information, visit www.acssy.org.
