Celebrate Lunar New Year with the Chinese Theatre Works

與紐約美華劇坊一起慶祝農曆新年

English: “Hao Bang Ah!” is a common Chinese expression meaning “Great!” or “Well done!” Each year, Chinese Theatre Works celebrates the Lunar New Year with an original “budaixi” (traditional Chinese glove puppetry) production featuring the twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac. This year’s show stars the Horse, who presides over a festive selection of lively puppet skits, traditional dances, and popular songs. The performance also brings to life well-known Chinese idioms that celebrate the wit and wisdom of the zodiac animals—including the classic story of “Sai Weng Shi Ma” (The old man Sai lost his horse), a tale about the hidden blessings in life’s unexpected turns. This program is funded by New York State Senator Michael Gianaris.
Chinese: “好棒啊!”是赞美的常用语。每年,紐約美華劇坊 (Chinese Theatre Works) 都会推出全新的传统布袋戏(budaixi)节目来庆祝农历新年。 今年的主角是“马”。演出内容精彩纷呈,包括活泼的木偶短剧、传统舞蹈和流行歌曲。观众还将领略中国传统成语的智慧,例如家喻户晓的“塞翁失马,焉知非福”,生动地展示了生肖文化中蕴含的处世哲学与生活智慧。 ________________________________________
