So our lovely summer 2015 is coming to an end. But no worries, Asian Pop-up Cinema is screening a series of diverse Asian movies from September to December to keep you cozy and happy!
Join TAP-Chicago for a movie night: Meeting Dr. Sun on Wednesday Oct 7th at AMC River East 21!
Meeting Dr. Sun is a multi-layered heist comedy talking about two teenagers planning to make money by stealing selling a statue of Dr. Sun, the father of Republican China. Meeting Dr. Sun is lighthearted but it is the subtle underlying social subtext which makes it interesting.

Come join TAP-Chicago this Saturday as we participate in the annual Double Ten Parade in Chinatown. The Double Ten Parade is an annual event held to commemorate the Wuchang Uprising, a revolt that led to a declaration of independence from the central government by Wuchang and several other provinces in China in 1911, which ultimately led to the Xinhai Revolution in which revolutionary forces overthrew the Qing Dynasty,
Every year, the Chinatown neighborhood and thousands of people from all over the city of Chicago join together to attend and participate in the Double Ten Parade. This year the festivities will include performances by students and other artists, marching bands, floats and other entertainment. In addition, the Double Ten Parade is attended by leaders of the Chinatown community, representatives of associations in the Chinatown community, and other honorable guests and dignitaries.
The Double Ten Parade is organized by the CCBA. The CCBA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and was established in the 1880s in Chicago. The CCBA’s mission is to unite overseas Chinese, promote their welfare, enhance the Sino-American friendship, promulgate Chinese heritages, and conduct community services and charity events.

Join TAP-Chicago as we check out the big taiko show ROTATIONS at the Athenaeum Theatre’s main stage! The show is an innovative collaboration between Chicago’s Ho Etsu Taiko and Los Angeles’ On Ensemble.
Attendees will see both groups perform in this exciting, high-energy drumming extravaganza! TAP-Chicago has a limited number of discount tickets for premium (2nd and 3rd row!) seats for only $25.
Purchase tickets at http://
Depending on attendee interest, the group may grab brunch before or drinks after the performance.
ABOUT THE PERFORMERS
One of the Midwest’s premiere taiko groups, Ho Etsu Taiko draws from traditional Japanese musical styles and a broad variety of contemporary music to create a uniquely Chicago sound with global roots.
Hailing from Los Angeles, the On Ensemble is led by childhood friends Shoji Kameda and Masato (Maz) Baba. The Ensemble has made a name for itself by infusing the powerful rhythms of taiko with overtone singing, odd meter grooves and soaring melodies.
PARKING: There are two paid parking lots and limited street parking. Parking lot fees are $2 per hour with a maximum of $6, good until 2am. Metered parking on Lincoln Ave is also available for $2 per hour for 2 hours at a time.
