Yesterday was the 8th day of CNY, and it was Sunday. Being told by Eunice that there are some performance at the Chinatown, we decide to go have a look after the church service.
There are some Lion Dance, Dragon Dance, Fan dance, kung fu performace, and Tai Chi...anyway, I would say this is the worst Lion and Dragon dance I ever saw. the Lion Dance only dance on floor, they dint jump on the beam or anything, and the drum is in slower beat, sometime they even change people on half of the performance, and you can c the costume of the Lion body and leg is diff...wht a funny Lion...and the worst is the Dragon dance, mostly play by the kids. how to say? look like a half dead dragon flying.....
Surprising is, there are a lot of GUAI LOU that involve in this chinese tradition festival. even some of Lion and Dragon player are those Guai Lou. haha....and even a Negro play in the Lion and kung fu...
Malaysia Lion dance is still one of the best I ever seen. even in Langkawi, is better than here. But, wht can u expect when you in a country that all people speak in English, and even the chinese here can only speak english, what else tradition culture tht can b very origin compare to the chinese speaking place? Malaysia and Canada are both multiculturalism country, but chinese in Malaysia is much more Chinese than Canadian Chinese. That is a good thing, for a race to maintain their own tradition without capitalize by the culture is other places. And this is the real multiculturalism as compare to Canada.
