(Clearwisdom.net) Having just wrapped up six successful shows in Toronto, the Divine Performing Arts (DPA) went on stage in Geneva on October 1, 2008. Celebrities from all circles rewarded every program with warm applause. At the reception audience members had high praise for the beauty of the show.

The venue for the performance was Leman Theatre. The director of the theater, Mr. Claude Proz, saw the show and said, "I am very sensitive to Chinese art, especially such a traditional performance. Only highly skilled artists could have mounted a production of such high standard. I am very pleased our theater was able to host a show of such high quality today! Everyone I saw was smiling. The audience is happy. The sponsors are happy. I am certainly very happy!" Mr. Proz said they had decided to continue working with the Divine Performing Art for more shows in the future. "I hope they will come back soon!"

Mr. Thierry Braik

Mr. Thierry Braik, a banker, thought the dances and music were beautiful and graceful, a balm to the spirit. He had been to China and knew some Chinese history. He thought the show was a perfect combination of the best of the traditional and the modern. Mrs. Braik thought the costumes were unique and the beautiful dances sweet and unforgettable.

Mr. Rurik Giltsoff, a real estate developer, was very excited by the show. He said the background was a wonder and very original and that the colors of the costumes were fascinating. He could easily understand the meaning of the program because of his Asian background.
