Background In China, the Mid-Autumn Festival is named 中秋. We celebrate with our family and eat moon cake. No matter how busy we are, we will still try to spend this day with family. In Japan, the Mid-Autumn Festival is named Tsukimi (月見) or Otsukimi (literally meaning ‘moon-viewing’). Customs include making offerings to the moon and celebrating the harvest during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The former is part of their ancient belief system (Shinto) and expresses the gratitude of the Japanese people to the moon god. While we may celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in different ways, this festival is necessary for all of us.

This performance is presented with generous support from:
