By a Finnish practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) On March 30-31, the Divine Performing Arts Company
brought the Chinese Spectacular to the Tampere Conference Centre, in the
third-largest city of Finland. Finnish MP and MEP Piia Noora Kauppi enthusiastically recommended the Chinese
Spectacular to the Finnish people, "As I am working in the European
Parliament's China Committee, I have many opportunities to learn about the rich
culture of China in depth, with growing fascination. I am so delighted that
Divine Performing Arts will come to Finland. I recommend this Spectacular to you
with enthusiasm." Piia-Noora Kauppi, Finnish MP and MEP Minister of Finnish Immigration and Europe: "I am very pleased to be
able to experience the heavenly, beautiful, colorful and spectacular
performance!" Astrid Thors, Finnish Minister of Immigration
and Europe Astrid Thors, the Finnish Minister of Immigration and Europe, said in her
greeting, "As the Minister of Immigration and Europe, I am very happy at
the arrival of the beautiful Chinese Spectacular for the first time in
Tampere, Finland this spring - a very good time, when all things on the Earth
are coming back to life. We Finnish people are very pleased to be able to
experience the heavenly, beautiful, colorful and spectacular performances." "I extend my warm greetings to the arrival of the performance in
Finland" Finnish MP Pertti Virtanen Pertti Virtanen, MP for Tampere, said in his speech, "During my long
research into the prehistory of China and the Western world, I have deeply felt
the power brought by the Divine Performing Arts, which depicts ancients stories
that are very similar to the epics of our country. Today's busy and chaotic
world needs a profound spiritual awareness and experience, the overall and
individual understanding of the soul of the Earth. In this Chinese
Spectacular, [the Divine Performing Arts] has brought us a superlative
performance of a most awakening nature." Representative of Taiwan in Finland: "It will be a feast of Chinese
art" Shen Pei Huang Shen Pei Huang, from the office of the Taiwan Representative in Finland, said
in his speech, "First of all, I would like to express my thanks to the
planners of the Chinese Spectacular, because the performance presented by
the Divine Performing Arts will give the Finnish audiences the opportunity to
enjoy the essence of Chinese performing arts. "The upcoming Art Performance at Tampere Hall on 30th and 31st of March,
2008, will not only display truthfulness, compassion and beauty, but will also
enable people to experience how the Chinese traditional arts and culture truly
touch the inner hearts of the people. Audiences throughout Europe, North America
and Asia have all expressed their heartfelt appreciation and highest praise for
the music and dances performed by the Divine Performing Arts. "I am honored to have the opportunity to watch the Chinese
Spectacular at Tampere Hall. It will be a feast of Chinese arts and it will
let the viewers experience spiritual peace and joy. "I wish you all good health and I wish the Divine Performing Arts Chinese
Spectacular a great success at Tampere Hall." The Finnish People Eagerly Await the Chinese Spectacular Kaija Raty-Omar is the principal of Helsinki Let's Dance School. When
she saw the posters and leaflets about the Chinese Spectacular, she was
immediately attracted and decided to attend the show. Having seen the short DVD
presentation of the Chinese Spectacular, Ms. Raty-Omar took the initiative to
send the information to other dance schools, so that more people would know
about the performance. That same day, she and two of her students bought tickets
for the March 30 show and got third row seats. A Chinese man from mainland China who is running a martial arts school
happened to encounter staff members from the show sponsors putting up
advertisements for the Chinese Spectacular. He said to them of his own accord,
"I have more than one hundred students at my school. Give me some
advertisements, and I will help you to put them up at my school. I will ask my
students to attend the performance. There are Ballet dancers among my students.
I will also go and see it. Traditional Chinese culture can hardly be seen
nowadays in China." A staff member of a Chinese Spectacular sponsor spoke to a gentleman
on the train from Tampere to Helsinki. He told him about the Chinese
Spectacular in Tampere. It so happened that the gentleman turned out to be
the Mayor. He became interested and read the leaflet about the Spectacular, and
said, "I will take my whole family to see it." Then he added, "I
am having a meeting with several Members of Parliament in Helsinki. I will tell
them about the performance." When they parted, he asked for more leaflets
about the Chinese Spectacular. Ms. Viola is a resident of Tampere Talo, and a music teacher. She bought
tickets as soon as she learned about the performance. Government officials also
looked forward to the arrival of the Divine Performing Arts. In addition to
extending their greetings to the Divine Performing Arts and to recommending the
Spectacular to the public, they all agreed that the performance was a rare
opportunity for Finland!
