STOCKHOLM, Sweden—Mahbobeh Jnanj England lives in Stockholm and teaches Farsi, her mother language. She has students of all ages. She has traveled to Hong Kong, Manila, and Thailand.
On a very cold night in March, she saw the Chinese Spectacular performed by the Divine Performing Arts Company. She said, "I like it very much. Very, very nice impression and is … I don't know ... as a show it is very nice. She particularly liked "the music, history—I think it is very interesting."
One of the most important things about the show coming to Sweden, according to England, was the traditional culture in the performance. She said, "Yes, of course, it is a modern country, something you're missing … is the history and culture. I think the most for me is culture and history. I'm not so much religious. I believe in culture. Culture makes the people strong. I think this is very important." She said she "absolutely" saw that in the program.
She wishes people who are not free could see the show. She said, "I think freedom is very important. Yes, many people in Iran are not free [She came from there]. Freedom is very important. … Yes, freedom is most important. [Freedom to think] what you want to think."
