STOCKHOLM, Sweden—The Divine Performing Arts Company returned for a fifth performance of the Chinese Spectacular to Stockholm's Circus Theater, after two shows in Tampere, Finland.
Camilla Westling was in the audience that gave the performers a standing ovation and three curtain calls. "In my eyes the show is beautiful, and I enjoyed the costumes and the dancing. It's amazing to see all the colors and the choreography," said Ms. Westling.
Ms. Westling was trying to figure out what was different about the way Chinese dance and said, "I think it is the way they are moving across the stage. It looks as if they are floating, although they are walking. I truly think that they are very good."
She told us that her favorite scene was "Nymphs of the Sea." "When they mirrored the water with the fans, I think it was beautiful and unique. It is very difficult to imitate the movement of water."
She did not hesitate when asked if she would recommend the show to others, and said, "I will tell them that they should definitely see the show. It's beautiful. I think it is worth it."
"I was actually invited by a friend, who called me and said she had tickets. She asked me if I wanted to come, and I said, 'Sure,' because I had heard a lot about the show. I heard that it was supposed to be good."
Before this show, Ms. Westling had not been very interested in China, but the show touched her positively. "I think we need to know a lot more about China than we know today," she said. "It is exciting. It has a lot of culture. But I must admit that I don't know much about it. I would like to go to China and see for myself. It is a big country."
