An exhibition in honor of Tang and the Bard begins world tour

This year is the 400th anniversary of the deaths of literary giants William Shakespeare and ancient China's playwright Tang Xianzu. An exhibition to mark their contributions to world literature is being held across 26 venues of the Chinese Cultural Center in different countries through December.

Dialogue Across Time and Space: Homage to Tang Xianzu and William Shakespeare, which started on Sept 1 in Singapore, compares the lives and works of the two dramatists whose influences on society remain. The exhibition will be accompanied by seminars, forums, movie screenings, live performances and workshops.

The show is expected to end in Mauritius.
