(Clearwisdom.net) The Divine Performing Arts (DPA) has become increasingly popular among people from all walks of life in southern Taiwan.
Arthur Iap, president of a Taiwan sugar corporation and former director of a government information office, said, "From an artistic point of view, the DPA is truly outstanding. They did a great job with their costumes, dancing, and choreography. However, the Chinese Spectacular is not simply dancing and singing. It incorporates values of belief in God and goodness. Everything in the show naturally goes together and completely draws people in."

Mr. Iap said the DPA delivers a message of kindness through art performance, "hence the show focused on how to bring out the best of human kindness through art."
Mr. Chen Chin-Le, General Manager of the Li-Chang Company, and his wife attended the show. Mr. Chen was most moved by the "Drummers of the Tang Court," "I see the masculinity of Chinese men from ancient times." Mr. Chen was also moved by the song "Truth Alone Sets You Free." He commented on the background projection saying that it is "in harmony with the story and gave us a whole different sensation."

"A friend of mine encouraged us to come. Many of my colleagues came as well. We hope to see the show again next year," said Mr. Chen.
Ms. Chang Hua-Ling, Chen's wife who also works in the Li-Chang Company as an engineer, said, "The "Drummers of the Tang Court" really moved me. The rhythm is synchronized and the dancing is graceful. The baritone's voice in the song "Truth Alone Sets You Free" was very nice and solid."
Mr. Pan Chiu-Lin, Factory Director of the Yieh-Phui Enterprise Co. Ltd., saw the show last year and came back again with great expectation. He seemed pleased and said, "The show wasn't the same as last year's. The programs were totally different. The stage looked great and the performance was magnificent and sophisticated. The artists are skillful and the content of the show was delicate. It's powerful to see dances that depict stories. It was very clear to me what they were expressing. They put in a lot of effort in telling important details in the stories. I understood them easily. The programs are very unique while maintaining traditional standards."
"This is totally different from other shows I have seen," Mr. Pan continued, "It's very profound."
