Overview
Was your New Year’s less than aspirational? If you spent the strike of midnight shoveling a regrettable kebab into your mouth whilst searching for your friends in a sweaty, heaving mosh rather than swilling champagne and high fiving on the rooftop of a penthouse apartment, Chinese New Year is your chance to do it right and save 2013 from failure.
Fed Square will see in the Year of the Snake with free and fun things, beginning with a screening of cult comedy All's Well, End's Well on Saturday, February 9, at 7pm. The next day, traditional lion dancing by the Hong De Lion Dance Association will amaze/amuse/confuse from noon, followed by highlights from the Lumens Festival, a photography and video art exhibition curated by RMIT University, on the main screen.
Chinese New Year also makes it permissible to wear red and not be mistaken for a lady of the night, demand envelopes filled with money from your parents, and purchase new clothes in the name of a fresh start. Just call me Confucius.
