GENEVA—Thierry Oulevay, president of World Première Watchmaking and co-creator of the unique Jean Dunand timepieces, attended the Divine Performing Arts Chinese Spectacular at the Theatre du Léman in Geneva, Switzerland, on March 3. He called the show "a miracle," and expressed pride in being a show sponsor.
Mr. Oulevay said, "This is an extraordinary show, amazing. It is very artistic and exquisite. It is a good marriage of culture and art. It also finds a nice balance between dancing and musical and spiritual components. I have never seen this kind of fine show before—it is miracle.
"You can tell how much effort the performers have put into it. It is the best exhibition of Chinese culture. It is touching to see how they used the performing arts to display 5,000 years of Chinese history. It is incredible, unique."
"The lighting, colors, and backdrop attracted me a lot." He added, "I have visited Macao, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and many other cities in China. I have also read many books about China's history and culture. However, I did not realize that the drum is a sacred item."
"I am very happy to see the principles of Truth, Compassion, and Tolerance that are displayed in the show … The show allowed us to ponder how to keep a distance from the material world. This is something that deserves deep thinking. Commercialization is one aspect of our life. However, history, culture, and art are indispensable to human life."
Mr. Oulevay concluded, "I work with Première Watchmaking business and design. I can easily tell the quality of a show, especially visually. I really like the costumes, colors, and the movement in dances, because they came out of great creativity… Finally, I wholeheartedly wish the global tour of Divine Performing Arts on Tour great success, because it is unique and incomparable."
