TAICHUNG, Taiwan—Chang Chiyu, director of Changhua County’s department of education, and his wife were in the audience of the Divine Performing Arts (DPA) 2009 World Tour matinee on March 7 at Hui-Sun Auditorium.
“The profound and rich five-millennia-old Chinese culture enabled DPA to produce such a perfect and impressive artistic show,” he said upon watching the show.
Mr. Chang said that he was touched by the first program, The Five Millennia Begin, and the other dances and songs. The dance, The Poet’s Vision, left a particularly deep impression on him, as he was “moved.”
He said that the wide sleeves of Flowing Sleeves and the colorful fans of Welcoming Spring were very graceful. “It was a visual feast.” He also realized from the program, The Miraculous Exhibit, that mankind needs to uphold truthfulness and compassion to have hope in the future.
Mrs. Chang said that all the dances were very elegant and refined. The dancers’ temperament, expression, and costumes were captivating. Upon watching the program, Heaven Awaits Us Despite Persecution, depicting a father who is persecuted to death for practising the traditional spiritual discipline, Falun Gong, in China, Mrs. Chang felt rather sad.
Yet the program’s ending was very good. Mr. Chang said that as long as people have righteous thoughts, the persecution will be eliminated.
“I think DPA is a great inspiration for people in central Taiwan in terms of arts and humanity.”
