(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Zhuang Daxiao is the Design Supervisor at the Lautrec Advertising Company. He attended the performance by Divine Performing Arts (DPA) last year and could not wait to see this year's show. On the evening of March 2, 2009, he was in attendance to watch the last performance in Taipei along with a group of his friends. Mr. Zhaung was surprised that this year's show was an entirely new program. In just one year, DPA producers created an all new show.
Mr. Zhaung mentioned that this year's show was very elegant and peaceful. Because "The Poet's Vision," is the type of dance that is not often performed, Mr. Zhaung was thrilled. He was familiar with the poem by Li Bai, but this was the first time he had seen such a simple but powerful expression of the poem. Mr. Zhaung said, "All of the following added to the interpretation of this famous story: the full moon, yellow flowers on a cliff, a dancer walking in drunken lonely steps, and fairies who slowly descend from the moon only to fly back after the dance. The poet is then left to sigh in the moonlight.
'Drunk on Dragon Hill tonight,
the banished immortal, Great White,
turns among yellow flowers,
his smile wide,
as his hat sails away on the wind
and he dances away in the moonlight.'
What a wonderful manifestation of the poem!"
He added,"Divine Performing Arts uses familiar legends and stories in the new program, such as "The Monkey King Triumphs," "Monk Ji Gong Abducts the Bride," and "Mulan Joins the Battle." These ancient legends are remembered by the audience. The last piece, "Knowing the True Picture Offers Ultimate Hope," displayed a rotating Falun and Buddhas, Daos, and Gods who descend to Earth. Mr. Zhuang recalled that no matter who we are in this life, we are all from Heaven.
Music Composer Association Trustee Chairman: Support DPA Wholeheartedly
Mr. Tsai Ching-jung and his wife also attended the DPA performance last year. They praised this year's divine show. They found the program "Heaven Awaits Us Despite Persecution" very moving, because a Falun Gong practitioner was killed while being persecuted.
Mr. Tsai said with a heavy heart, "Communism is truly an evil that harms people. After watching DPA we should treasure the democracy and freedom we have here in Taiwan." When a tortured practitioner ascended to Heaven during one of the programs, he and his wife were moved to tears by the power of compassion they felt.
Mr. Tsai believes each program is a classic. He also said that this kind of show will enable Taiwanese society to renew its traditional values. He will definitely support this performing arts company by using different ways to promote the show, and he plans to invite his friends to a performance.
