The River South Arts Festival is this Thursday through to Sunday and features a bunch of really cool shit. Most notable is the final performance (at least for now) of Solar/Lunar – The Legend, that fabulous rock opera by The Illumin8tors (which I am in, for those who are new to the blog). If you’ve already seen it, come on down for one last hurrah. And if you haven’t caught the spectacle yet, why not come on down for one last hurrah.
Here’s a quick rundown of what’s on, night by night.
Thursday December 1st, 7pm – Shanghai THRONES
Redic is both a singer and a visual artist, and he’ll be exercising both facets of his personality on the opening night of the festival as he puts on a show, and shows of his artwork – 12 reclaimed chairs. The show is called Shanghai Thrones and will be on display until the 15th. It’s free.
Friday December 2nd, 8pm – Solar/Lunar
Yup, this is it, the big one, the final rock opera performance. There will be a support set from Hello Money as well as some collaborative performance poetry from Renee Reynolds. 80 RMB, and worth every jiao.
Saturday December 3rd, 7pm – H.A.L. Publishing Book Launch
Those crazy cats and HAL are launching their new book, Middle Kingdom Underground, and they are also hosting a poetry slam event, SLAMHAI 3. For 100RMB you’ll be entertained all night and you’ll also take home a copy of the new book.
Sunday December 4th, 2pm-6pm – Brunch, open mic and poetry.
120RMB.
Full details on the flyers, I hope you can make it down there.
