Construction Architect: I Liked "The Risen Lotus Flower"
Construction architect Mr. Zeta Karimatas and his wife came to the show. They were deeply touched by the performance. Zeta's favorite piece was "The Risen Lotus Flower." It is a dancing drama, which portrays three Falun Gong practitioners being persecuted, and one of them was murdered because of protecting fellow practitioners. He said, "My wife and I like the performance where two angels took the practitioner to heaven. Yes, it is 'The Risen Lotus Flower'."

David said he felt that the show conveys a message of what is happening in China and tells people the relationship between that and the rest of the world. It also tells people that there is a group of people who are being persecuted in China and they want the repression to end.
He further realized through the show that it is important for people to understand the truth. He said that the information in the newspaper is not necessarily always true, and that we will only know what we are told. In fact, in China there is much more that we do not know. We should patiently look for the answers.

Zita praised the traditional Chinese dances. She liked the drumming performance, the fan dance and the background screen. She said, "Characters moved from the background screen to the stage, which makes people feel that the fairy tales became a reality. Everything was so amazing. My friends and I have seen many dance performances, but I have never seen one like this because it melts the Chinese fairy tales into the reality. The effect is very special."
