Apr 14: MimiRichi: Paper World
The clowns of MimiRichi have perfected the art of “plastic comedy,” molding their faces and bodies into a cutting, hilarious humor that appeals to young and old. After tours of the world and enough awards to fill a barrel, the troupe visits Shenzhen with a deceptively simple premise: a massive sheet of white paper. But as with all great forms of art, the incredible freedom of that blank page becomes the stuff of wonders. Take the whole family to enjoy the improvisation and comedy of this delightful trio.
Apr 14, 10.30am; RMB60-200. Shenzhen Children’s Palace. See event listing. Tickets.
Apr 14: Tarde Caliente – Zumba Class & Party
Reserve one of 15 spots for a class with one of Russia's Top 100 dancers. Or just arrive at 5pm for the open party, with drinks and more of those infectious Latin beats. This is the first event hosted by Longhua Boys, organizing get-togethers that don’t require folks up north to travel across the city for some fun. If you’re anywhere near Longhua New District, this is your best chance to enjoy some local hospitality.
Apr 14, 4pm (Zumba), 5-10pm (party); RMB50 Zumba class (includes one drink), RMB30/drink. Battle Monster. See event listing. Tickets.
