(Clearwisdom.net) Divine Performing Arts (DPA) performed four shows at the Paris Palais de Congres in Paris, an international showcase for high-profile cultural events in France. Audience feedback indicated that people were delighted by this world-class performance.
Mr. Paul-Loup Sulitzer, an internationally acclaimed writer
Mr. Sulitzer, an internationally acclaimed writer, has published nearly 20 novels in the last 20 years. His books have been translated into 40 different languages and more than 30 million copies have been sold to date.
He told a reporter at the event, "The colors are splendid, the young dancers are wonderful, and the performance of the singers was astonishing!
"This evening was a very pleasant moment, which helped me to better understand the Chinese culture. There is full respect for Chinese tradition, which is not something you can see in Western-style shows. One feels like one has entered inside ancient Chinese culture.
"This is very interesting. The performances are filled with talent and orchestrated with milli-metric precision. Also, the opera singer was remarkable; he sang in an extraordinary way.
"I must say that this show is unique, and there is nothing that can compare with it. It was very interesting, because it makes it possible to better understand Chinese culture. You cannot find this in any other show, and it makes me want to know China better."
Founder of ACHM and Journalist Calls DPA "Delicacy"
Ms. Parpar, a painter, poet, veteran journalist, and founder of a humanitarian arts and cultural organization, was thoroughly impressed by the performance. "If I were to write an article about the show, the title would be 'Delicacy,' in color, in culture, in the soul, the music, and in the movements. It was wonderful!" she said.

Ms. Parpar told the reporter, "All my life I have adored all traditions, cultures, and art from India and China--the mysteries, the beauty, and the basis of our existence. But tonight, I saw delicacy in the movements and the music, so the title that I give this show is, 'Delicacy.'
"I have been to many shows over the years, but this show is exceptional, and especially at the end, there is hopefulness. I write poetry about hopefulness. I love Chinese culture, because it is the most ancient, and it is knows the mystery of our existence," said Ms. Parpar.
Executive Director: "It Goes Directly and Deeply to the Heart"
Mr. Chhor, a native Cambodian and the head of a Paris-based division of a large Japanese technology firm, attended the show with his wife and daughter. The performances went "directly and deeply to the heart," he said after the show.
He commented, "It's a very amazing show. I really appreciate that I have seen it. It is very interesting to see China's culture unfold. We are not used to seeing such beautiful things that go directly and deeply to the heart. One could clearly see centuries of civilization."
Mr. Chhor also noted, "It is very similar, as Cambodia has a civilization somewhere between India and China. It is what we live, in our civilization, in our culture."
He also liked the spiritual message, saying, "Here in Europe we very much live according to what I would call rationality, but Asian people live much deeper, with their heart."
Ms. Frunzi Crouzet, a textile and fashion designer living in Paris and in the United States, commented on the persecution of Falun Gong in China, saying, "I know about Falun Dafa; found it very interesting, as well as the message of Falun Dafa.
"The show is so beautiful. We think more people should come to see the show! Everything was good. I enjoyed every detail, the costumes, the dances and the music."
