Heritage Performance at City of Solon Lunar New Year Celebration - 1-31-2026

Описание: Ignite the Silk Road Legacy with Our Hanfu Runway Spectacle!

Step into ancient empires where silk whispers secrets of the Tang and Ming Dynasties, brought roaring to life by the Silk Road Cultural Collective at Solon Community Center on January 31, 2026. This electrifying runway show at 3:30 PM fused handmade lamellar armor, flowing Hanfu masterpieces, and dynamic performances—ushering in the Year of the Fire Horse amid Lunar New Year festivities.

Epic Performers in Motion

Watch co-founder Anne Pu command the stage in imperial hanfu, her pastel silk layers and floral embroidery evoking Tang court elegance, as publisher of the Erie Chinese Journal bridging eras with grace. Dorjan Scott thunders opposite in full Tang lamellar armor, waving the Wu Family War Banner like battlefield flames, its silk rippling with imperial valor.

Pairs like Jennifer Lynn Anderson in crimson winter Hanfu and Martin King as a futou-crowned Tang official collide in synchronized drama from opposite sides, silk meeting steel in center-stage harmony. Julie Simon and Katherine “Kat” Szeto dazzle in Tang and Ming contrasts—gauzy sleeves swirling beside structured robes, turning the runway into a living scroll of history.​

Cultural Thunder Unleashed

Feel the crowd's pulse as 28-30 lb replica armors gleam under lights, swords slice air (safely!), and banners unfurl—immersive reenactments preserving Asian heritage through your nonprofit's visionary lens. Hosted by filmmaker Johnny K. Wu, this free family event at 35000 Portz Parkway exploded with education, artistry, and unity, drawing Cleveland's diverse communities into the Silk Road's timeless embrace.
