(Clearwisdom.net) Divine Performing Arts' Saturday evening show at the Palais des Congres in Paris moved both Western and Chinese theatergoers to warm applause.
Writer Ms Ginabode
Ms Ginabode is a novelist. She said, "I am extremely impressed by the evening gala. It is very beautiful and colorful. I like the design for the backdrop very much. We learned many things, including some Chinese history.
"The dancers wore colorful skirts and danced in spirals. It is very novel. All the programs are very meaningful."
Ms Ginabode's husband said, "I like it very much. This is an outstanding performance. What I also like in the programs is the criticism of the Chinese Communist regime. This is very important and also very normal. It is very good. One must have the courage to tell the truth."
Painter Ms Lenior
Ms Lenior, a painter, said, "Although I didn't become a professional dancer, I have always done classical dance. In fact, we can see that the Chinese classical dances and the Western classical dances have many common elements. But in terms of difficulty, technique and expression, the Chinese classical dances have more wonderful things."
Mr. Ding is Chinese and lives in Paris. He thought the Divine Performing Arts was very professional. "From the costume colors and coordination to the design of the backdrops and the artists' skills, they are all first class. The artists are all first class. It is remarkable."
Ms He is from northern China. He said, "I think the performance is extraordinarily outstanding. I never saw a show as brilliant as this in China. In China, the performances all contain political propaganda. The Divine Performing Arts has a kind of primitive power that I felt especially close to. It is from life and very close to life. As soon as the curtain opened, I started to cry. Whether I have lived a good life or not, I have been very depressed for many years. I have been very tired. The scenes with nature in the backdrop made me very relaxed. I was excited by every program. In the final program, I had very inexplicable feelings about the rotating Faluns (law wheels). I felt that they contain many mysteries. Although I couldn't quite understand the meaning, I felt them to be very profound."
