Public Relations Agent in Frankfurt: "The Choreography of 'The Power of Awareness' Was Very Successful"
By a Minghui reporter in Frankfurt
(Clearwisdom.net) The Divine Performing Arts Touring Company three-show
run in Frankfurt, Germany, concluded on February 17, 2008. The performances were
appreciated by people from all walks of life. Known as being serious and
conservative, the German audience generously offered rave reviews to the Divine
Performing Arts. Mr. Walt works in the media industry. He is an advertisement designer in a
public relations company. He and his colleagues made a three-hour trip by train
to Frankfurt to see the Chinese Spectacular at Jahrhunderthalle (Century
Hall ) on February 16. He was the most impressed by the two drum dances. He told
the reporter, "There were two drum performances, one was before the end of
the first half of the show and the other was at the end of the show. These two
dance pieces were fantastic. I thought every performance was very good. The
music, choreography, and dances were so well integrrated and achieved a perfect
combination. It was really fabulous! There was an intangible mighty power behind
the performance." Mr. Walt continued, "I also thought that the themes of the two dance
performances 'The Risen Lotus Flower' and 'The Power of Awareness,' were very
well presented. In particular, the choreography of 'The Power of Awareness' was
very successful. The dance fully exhibited the three fundamental principles
'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.'" His colleague, Mr. Mier, was also deeply impressed by the drum dances. He
also liked the dance "Forsythia in Spring" and other performances. He
said, "The rear screen that provided backgrounds for the performances
played a huge role. The audience could understand the meaning of the lyrics
through the German translation on the screen. The costumes were so beautiful,
colorful, and splendid." Mier had a special appreciation for the
performances presenting traditional Chinese culture. He said, "The tenor
(Guan Guimin) seemed to be well known in China. I do not have much knowledge of
him, but I thought he was marvelous." The host and hostess also favorably impressed the communicators/media
personnel, particularly in the way they communicated with the audience. Mr. Mier
said, "They sometimes were humorous. When the show began, they asked the
audience if we believed in fate or destiny and for those who believed in it,
please put up our hands. I did not raise my hand. Then they said, 'For those who
do not believe in it, please put up your hands.' I still did not raise my
hand." He gave an arch smile and continued, "They raised the third
possibility, that is, 'For those who haven't raised your hands, please put up
your hands!' Hahaha." He grinned and said, "You see, this cheered the
audience up. I thought this was a lively hosting style. I could see they had a
very good rapport and were very sincere." They said if the Divine Performing Arts ever came to the city where they
live, they would go see it again. |
