QiXi Returning to Millennium Park on August 22!
We are thrilled to announce the return of our spectacular QiXi (pronounced “CHEE SHEE”) production on August 22, 2010 at 2:30pm in Millennium Park. This engaging presentation of music, martial arts and dance celebrates the ancient Chinese love story of Niulang and Zhinu, the cowherd and the weaver fairy, in a colorful traveling performance which weaves its way throughout Park. See an amazing video or a picture gallery from last year’s performance or find out about ways to support the project.
