C'est Du Chinois, Encore

Who knew theatre could be so...dramatic? Ha! Nevertheless, we're thrilled that most of the kids (and their parents) from Ecole Aurore want to continue with the project. On Wednesday Jury group #4 saw Edith Kaldor's 'C'est Du Chinois,' the second group to see the show. This was a good opportunity for me to pay closer attention than I did the first time, and I took detailed notes that helped me to better follow the last 1/4 of the performance. Once again the cast stayed afterwards to meet the Jury and share some chocolate. By request from the Jury, here are my Mandarin notes from the show:
