Art Attack: Nightmares, Body Painting and Children Singing

We’re hearing rumors of a Charlie Brown Christmas this year in Beijing. But first, here’s a roundup of arts & culture events for the upcoming week.

The Broadway musical Man of La Mancha is being performed at Nine Theater until January 20. And there will be plenty of holiday cheer over the weekend. Check out our story on Christmas tree lightings.

This weekend, UCCA is celebrating New Zealand on Film and Modernista is putting on an exhibition of their original posters from the past year.

On Saturday evening, the YCIS choir will be performing at the Park Hyatt tree lighting ceremony. If a school choir is too civilized for you, go to 4corners and get covered in paint or head back to Modernista on Sunday night for their screening of The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Next Wednesday, Broadway Cinematheque MOMA launches British Film Week with a screening of The Deep Blue Sea. The festival will run until December 16.

That’s all for now, folks. Keep track of more events by following us on Sina Weibo.
