As a musician, Ms. Herman was especially fascinated by the erhu, a two-stringed Chinese instrument similar in sound to the violin. "I am a violinist, so for me it was very interesting to see how Chinese people play a string instrument, and it was really fantastic, really great!"

Ms. Herman was particularly intrigued by the differences between the erhu, and Western stringed instruments, and carefully studied the performance. Afterwards she noted erhu artist, Qi Xiaochun's technique. "Some things are the same. She is playing on a string instrument and she is also playing with a bow, but she holds it in a special way. The technique is really great, and she is playing the whole melody on two strings. It's really fantastic," she added.

She found it difficult to pick out a favorite performance, "I liked everything! I also liked the synchronization between the dancers, when they come together with a group on stage it is really...it is quite perfect, everything together. It's a kind of vitality, really."

A human rights activist, Ms. Herman has been an outspoken member of the Belgian Friends of Tibet organization, and said she was particularly moved by the show's message. "It's nice to show on stage what's happening in China. Especially now what is happening with Falun Gong. This is a nice way to bring to people's attention this kind of problem. That I liked very much!"

Finally, Ms. Herman expressed her joy at seeing DPA. "It was really amazing and I hope a lot of people come to see this show! This show is really superb."
