E-scooter hutong tours

Date: May 9－10 am

Venue: The Big Smoke, Lee World Building, 57 Xingfucun Zhonglu, Beijing

Price: 450 yuan

Starting now, every weekend until mid-March we'll lead small group tours at a cool price. The Tour: After a brief training, we're off towards the hutong (traditional Beijing alleys). We'll wind through the narrow lanes, observing old architecture and learning about Bejing's history, while experiencing first-hand today's hutong life. We'll then head back, stopping along the way for lunch and a debriefing at a local restaurant. The Guide: Your tour will be led by an experienced western Insider Guide who has made Bejing his/her home. (We speak English, French and Spanish.)

Edinburgh Fringe Showcase: Leo

Date: May 27－7:30 pm

Venue: Oriental Palace Theater

Price: 50-380 yuan

What would happen if the laws of gravity were to suddenly change? Leo is a mind-bending, funny, surreal, and surprisingly touching work that challenges the senses and tests perceptions of reality through the clever interplay of live performance and video projection. Leo leaves audience members wondering which way is up and which way is down. Directed by the Montréal actor and director Daniel Brière, and based on an original idea by the multi-talented performer Tobias Wegner, Leo has won several major awards including the Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award, the Three Weeks Editors Award, the Scotsman Fringe First Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and more recently, won the John Chataway Award for Innovation at the 2013 Adelaide Fringe Festival. Leo has dazzled audiences and critics from New York to Berlin, from Melbourne to Hong Kong with stops in Montréal, Moscow and London along the way. Leo is now touring in countries all around the world.
