2009 Easter Concert

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009
Now the time for Easter approaches. The festival of Easter is a most passionate and dramatic celebration of life overcoming death. This is the time for acknowledging the depth of human suffering, giving a harsh, but just picture of the cruelty and injustice of the world, but also a time which, in the midst of the pain, gives an uncompressible hope of life, light and goodness.
This year’s Easter is celebrated in the second week of April from the 5th to the 12th. During the festival one remembers the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Easter week follows the last week of his life, from the joyful crowning on Palm Sunday to the betrayal of Maundy Thursday, evil and death’s triumph on Good Friday until Life at last defeats Death on the morning of Easter Sunday.
Easter is a beautiful festival concerned with the most essential experiences of human beings, embracing the whole register of emotions, from deep desperation to raptures of joy and exhileration. To celebrate Easter Nordica would like to invite you to a great concert on the 11th of April Saturday at 8 pm.
TCG Nordica restaurant offers a great Easter buffet with various traditional and delicious dishes from the Scandinavian kitchen. The buffet opens from 6 pm before the concert, and need prior reservation to TCG Nordica :4114691 4114692.
Price: Buffet and concert 50 yuan.

2009 Movie Night–The Seventh Seal

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Does Death’s face variant from China to Sweden? On this month’s movie night we will show The Seventh Seal, a highly acclaimed movie (Cannes prize 1957) by the famous Swedish director Ingmar Bergman.
A crusader is returning to middle age, pest stricken Sweden and challenges Death to a game of Chess, risking life and soul in the pursuit of a knowledge, which can save him from the abyss of emptiness. In this dark and strongly symbolic movie we meet with lots of Dostoyevsky like characters, from the doubt tormented knight, his sarcastic and cynic squire, saint like misused women, prophetic acrobats to lustful simple-beings, all representing different approaches towards life and existence, but of whom all in the end must bow to Death, a knowleding his mastership.
The movie night is a part of English Corner, and is free of charge, so you will have a wonderful chance to practice your English skills. We will encourage you to stay after the movie and take part in or just listen to the highly interesting discussion afterwards. Do not miss this chance for a real mind-boggling culture meeting! So please join, all thoughts and reflections are valuable!
Time: 2009.4.17, 8-11 pm.
