SOE 2017 production is a new collaboration between professional creative teams and community cultural groups. CAPA has joined together with visiting group Formosa Circus Art (from Taiwan), ArtLab J (Metro Detroit), and our 13 selected community cultural groups (including China, India, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Polynesia, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam) to illuminate the beauty of Asian heritage. With such a strong pool of talent performing, this year’s SOE show promises to be an unforgettable experience.

CAPA’s signature events, including SOE, continue to demonstrate the growing strength of the Asian Pacific American communities and their increasing contributions to Michigan’s economy, diversity, and vitality. We deeply appreciate the community’s support for our initiatives and events, such as Splendor of the East. We hope you will join us on May 13, 2017 for this fascinating journey into our splendid Asian festivals!
