Fourth Seychelles-China Day - Xinjiang Troupe to perform in Seychelles |19 January 2017

Seychelles-China Day, which coincides with the Spring Festival marking the Chinese New year, is to strengthen the collaboration between Seychelles and China.

This year’s event will celebrate the origins and identity of the Seychellois people, witness the different cultures of China, along by promoting Chinese tradition in Seychelles.

Such cultural exchange is to celebrate the origins and identity of the Seychellois people, and share our culture, our tradition.

The highlight for this year is a performance by the Xinjiang Troupe which will be performing at the International Conference Centre Seychelles (ICCS) on January 22, 2017 for the local public at 3.30pm.

The show, which is being organised by the department of culture, Cinea, Chinese embassy and the Chinese community, will be free for the general public but since there is a limited number of 100 seats available, tickets can be obtained on a first come first served basis at Cinea’s office at the ICCS during work hours.

The acrobatic Xinjiang Troupe, from the Uyghur Autonomous Region in the northeast of the People's Republic of China, was created in 1961. After decades of development, the troupe has produced a great number of spectacular group acts that have won several gold, silver, and bronze awards in international circus festivals and national and regional competitions. The troupe has been commended by the Chinese Ministry of Culture for its excellence.

Seychelles-China Day started in 2014 and this year it will be held this weekend (January 21-22).
