SUMMARY:Tiger of Zhao
DESCRIPTION:The story “The Tiger of Zhao.” is based on a story found in Pu Song Ling’s 17th century classic collection of supernatural stories “Strange Tales from Make-Do Studio.”  The story is about a fierce tiger\, who kills and eats the son of an old woman who lives in the nearby forest. She complains to the local authorities of the injustice that Tiger caused her by depriving her of her one source of support and comfort. Out of pity for her\, they force the Tiger to take the place of her son\, to serve and provide for her. The Tiger does this faithfully for the rest of the woman’s life\, after which he too finds atonement and release.  The story is resonant with deep moral overtones\, touching on “tikkun” (Jewish term for making reparations for past misdeeds)\, healing injustice and overcoming fear and hatred\, and the need to understand the “other”- all timely themes for the current historical era.

SUMMARY:Flushing Town Hall Celebrates Lunar New Year With Chinese Theatre Works’ Hao Bang-ah\, Rabbit!
DESCRIPTION:Two family-friendly performances at 1 PM and 3 PM to celebrate the Year of the Rabbit with Hao Bang-ah\, Rabbit!\, featuring traditional budaixi-style puppetry and live music. Both performances will be followed by hands-on workshops for children. \nLunar New Year\, the most important traditional festival in Asian cultures\, marks the start of a new year following the moon cycle. Each year is represented by one of twelve zodiac animals and 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit\, commencing January 22. The Rabbit is known to be the luckiest out of all twelve zodiac animals\, symbolizing such character traits as creativity\, compassion\, and sensitivity. \n“Hao Bang Ah!” is a common Chinese expression meaning “Great!” or “Well done!” \nEach year\, Chinese Theatre Works celebrates the Lunar New Year season with an original “budaixi\,” which is a traditional Chinese glove-puppet production that features the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. This year’s show stars the Rabbit\, who will preside over a jolly selection of wild puppet skits\, dances\, popular songs\, and well-known Chinese sayings that celebrate the wit and wisdom of the zodiac animals.
