On the evening of March 25, 2008, more than a dozen European politicians and Swedish MPs saw the third showing of the Chinese Spectacular in Circus Theater in Stockholm, Sweden.

Official from the Swedish Department of Culture: The Spectacular Touches One's Inner Heart

An officer from the Swedish Department of Culture was a well-known performer in the Swedish Imperial Opera House. She was "in the business" for 45 years and has an intimate understanding of stage art. After watching the Spectacular on March 25, she said, "Only the Divine Performing Arts could present such a spectacular performance."

"I was touched that these young performers could convey such grace. There were many programs in the show about spiritual belief, which can be an inspiration to modern stage performance."

She said emotionally, "Nowadays spiritual belief among the Swedish people has weakened because our society is becoming more secular. I personally miss that rich spiritual life. In current society, it is almost impossible to merge divine stories into a stage performance. But demonized things can be performed on stage. It is a serious issue."

Talking about the CCP's attempt to stop the show from being performed in Sweden, she said, "I think their efforts should be ignored. This show is not only a presentation of songs and dancing skills, but an expression of strong protest in the face of evil intimidation. It is admirable."

European Coordinator of the Swedish People's Party: The dances are novel and convey deep meaning

Anders Ekberg, European Coordinator of the Swedish People's Party and a young politician, commented after the show on the Asian elements in the dances, which he found novel and able to convey deep meaning. He was impressed.

Mr. Ekberg said, "In Western dance, there are only simple stories. In the Divine Performing Arts show, there is deep meaning. The performers use their costumes to enhance their dancing, which is never seen in Western dance. Colors are also used in Western dance, but sleeves and feathers? Never. They were used very effectively in this show."

Mr. Ekberg indicated that he worked under a member of the European Parliament in Brussels and knew about the CCP's persecution of human rights. He thought that the prison scene in "The Risen Lotus Flower" was very real. Regarding the CCP's interference with the show, he said, "There is clear evidence that the CCP authoritarian government does not like this show. The Chinese consulate called my colleagues in Stockholm and asked that the show be canceled. I saw the news in our party's weekly report. I think it is a good way to expose the CCP's dirty dealings in the media."
