Alfred To Asia - A Wedding Parade to The East

"Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet," but what if it does?

In the evening of April 7, the East and West will meet and collide in a wedding; the differences between the two cultures will fire up a conflict and create a terrible mess! And yet, the two will reconcile and conflicts will end up in a sweet comedy, with the blessings and performances by talented guests from various countries.

Come and witness the marriage of East and West; excite your senses with music and dance from traditional and modern.

*No admission fee needed.
