National Treasure: Jinju
Aficionados of the Peking Opera, more correctly called the Jinju, have been lamenting for some years that this art form is not commanding proper attention among especially the young. To quiet this lament, six young journalists from China currently at the University of Hawaii as Parvin Fellows will help celebrate Chinese New Year (February 9) with a presentation of the many facets of this performing art. Unlike previous jinju sessions at the China Seminar, this will be a treatment of this artistic genre by young Chinese who are not theater professionals.
