chinese culture performance in the cultural cafe

The Chinese invaded the cultural cafe at Stratford upon avon college earlier today. The invasion wasn't one of aggression but an invasion showing what they do in their culture.

What they were doing today was singing, one was about achieving goals, being proud.  In the two songs a woman and the man who sung first both had amazing voices... even though they were singing in chinese. 

They were wearing their cultural clothes they were blue and red and gold the men were wearing flat around hats that were white and the females were wearing gold hats which had two point on either side... all their clothes were very detailed and decorated.

After the singing two men had to prove who were stronger by both taking hold of a stick and pushing each other and picking each other up, after that they got some of the audience involved, two men from the audience decided to have a go, one succeeded twice and the other failed.

The Yao came to the cultural cafe to show the college students what they do in their culture, they did a good show despite only being a trailer of the full show. The audience seemed to enjoy watching it as two guys got involved and everyone was applauding even when the performers forgot what they were doing, but at the end everyone was cheering and congratulating them.  So overall I think they achieved what they came here to do and that was to show the college students what they do in their culture.

The part which grabbed the audiences attention more was the two men who were performing the stick challenge.
The reason why is because it was very worrying when the one man lifted up the other man, must take a lot of muscle to keep grip of a stick and hold yourself up while the person at the bottom is holding you up. I think this because there was something to watch other than the performers stood there singing. So if you have liked the sound of this why not grab a ticket to go and see the full thing ? You never know there might be more action.
