Business Owners: ‘It is very professional’

ANTWERP, Belgium—The highly acclaimed Divine Performing Arts (DAP) 2009 World Tour opened at the Stadsschouwburg, famous for musical shows, in Antwerp’s city center of Antwerpen.

In the audience were Ms. Loopmans and Mr. van Linden from Kapelle, who own and run their own business.

When asked how they enjoyed the show, Ms. Loopmans said, “Very nice. I like it very much. It is the first time I have seen a show like this. It is very nice. We go every year on vacation to Asia, so we like Asia very much. But this is the first time we have seen a China show.

“It is just because it is very relaxing. It gives you a relaxed atmosphere. It is quiet, it is nice, it is restful, and it is peaceful.”

Ms. Loopmans enjoyed everything about the DPA presentation that has its foundation in China’'s divinely inspired centuries-old Chinese values and traditions, before their erosion under communist rule.

“Everything. The music and the dance, it makes it complete with the colors.”

Their interest in the DPA performance was piqued after seeing posters and flyers of the show. "We went to the site and saw some pictures, and the website looked very nice,” Ms. Loopmans said.

Mr. van Linden came for the music. “I am a DJ on the weekends. They put a lot of emotion in the music. It is good.”

Groundbreaking music combines the best of Western and Eastern compositions performed by award-winning musicians, vocalists, and composers.

“It is complete. It completes everything,” Mr. van Linden said. “It is very professional.”

Ms. Loopmans added: “Sometimes you think it is not real. Sometimes you think they are playing real, because it is so … like the violin, [erhu]. It is so …. smooth, so harmonious. Professional people. And they also seem relaxed! It is very nice.”

Regarding the show's exposure of Falun Gong, the ancient spiritual practice banned in China, Mr. van Linden was aware of the abysmal human rights transgressions taking place in communist China.

“I understand what they are performing. I understand why the people don’t want to stay there. Given the current situation there, I understand.”
