By Reporter Zheng Xiaowei from Munich
(Clearwisdom.net) Divine Performing Arts presented its last performance
in Europe on April 19, 2008. The audience applauded again and again, having
enjoyed the wonderful performance, its rich inner meaning, and the high-tech
backdrops. In all, Divine Performing Arts presented 45 shows in 18 European
cities. The audiences in Munich applauded the performers' skillful presentations, the
beautiful pictures composed by performers on stage, and the backdrops. When Qi Xiaochun, the Erhu instrumentalist, played the last note, the
people were still so deeply into the music that there was a moment of silence
before she was greeted with thunderous applause. Many people lined up to buy tickets before the performance and hoped they
would not miss it. Several in the audience said that they really felt sorry that
they couldn't see such a wonderful performance again this year. A Unique Performance Doctor Sabine Freundshuber said that she came to the performance by chance.
She is from Passau in lower Bavaria and was on her two-week vacation in Munich.
When she received a flyer about the performance, she liked what she saw and
bought a ticket. Doctor Sabine Freundshuber Dr. Freundshuber liked the performance very much and said, "Wonderful! I
think it is very, very good and I am very satisfied. I liked the dances, the
drum dance--and actually, I liked all the dances. I also liked the Erhu
performance. That was very, very good." She could not find the right words to express why she liked the performance
so much and just felt that it touched her soul, "It was really magic. It
made you forget all your troubles, risks and surroundings. It was simply
marvelous." She said that she would recommend the show, "It is wonderful. Everyone
should come to watch. It is unique and is the most beautiful show I have ever
seen." She also knew that the CCP had interfered with the performance and commented,
"That was because the CCP cannot accept the principles of
'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance' shown in the performance, and they even
treat it as a threat. In fact, what the CCP thinks and does make people feel
uncomfortable." Very Interesting and Worthy of Being Experienced Three people from the audience, Barbara, Diheidi, and Romanda, said, "We
liked the performance very much." Their favorites were "Herding on the
Mongolian Plains" and "The Power of Awareness" that revealed the
reality of present China. Italian teacher Romanda said, "I regret that the CCP reacts in such a
way. I do not think that it is good that they react in such a manner. This is a
totally new culture for us and people should be open to this. It is a very
interesting performance and worth creating an opportunity to experience
it." The three ladies felt that it was unreasonable of the CCP to interfere with
the performance and they couldn't understand why a show that promotes
traditional Chinese culture cannot be presented in China. Barbara guessed,
"Is it because the performance has some background of Buddhism and the CCP
cannot tolerate it even though it is a very peaceful performance?" Diheidi stated, "What was revealed in the performance is impossible to
be accepted by the CCP. Present-day China is just like the former Eastern
Germany. People struggle with each other and don't trust each other. The
government is afraid of its own people and persecutes its people because of
fear. So they want to destroy the performance."
