See it larger.

The Confucius Institute of UMass Boston rang in the Chinese New Year and the Year of the Goat this afternoon with a series of musical, dancing and opera performances in the campus center ballroom.

Some opera, sung to the accompaniment of an erhu player:

Jumping for joy in a dance about a peacock:

Yep, the sideburns and the eyebrows more than the ears, but I did keep looking at that photo and wondering why Mr. Spock was performing in a Chinese opera scene.

I was just about to comment on that - seeing the pic before reading the headline, at first I thought this was some kind of weird stage tribute to Nimoy in light of his recent death...

Is that Spock mind-melding with the wall of a Red Line station?

I'd like to see the drink that goes with that paper umbrella.

Is that guy Chinese like Joseph Wiseman as Dr. No, or is it just me?
