PRAGUE, Czech Republic—Thunderous drums and graceful heavenly beauties heralded the arrival of the Divine Performing Arts Chinese Spectacular to the Czech Republic this week.
Produced by Divine Performing Arts, the Spectacular blends eastern and western fine arts and brings the traditions of ancient Asia into the present.
“It’s really fantastic, very special and very professional. First-class, absolutely,” said Satka Stemberg, an English teacher.
Stemberg found the use of flowing silks to depict rippling water during Nymphs of the Sea particularly remarkable.
She also commented on Risen Lotus Flower, which portrays the persecution of three young women for their belief in the spiritual practice of Falun Gong. Set in modern-day China, the piece describes the ongoing persecution of this peaceful, meditative practice by the Chinese communist regime. Satka described the performance as “very emotional.”
Stemberg said she was glad she had been able to see the show.
“I think it’s very good and I was quite pleased that I could see it in performance like that and not only read about it in the newspaper.”
The Divine Performing Arts will conclude its visit to Prague with a final performance tomorrow before continuing to Berlin on Friday. A total of 35 shows will be seen in 14 European countries.
