The Hague: "The acts we liked best were 'Water Sleeves' and the 'Drum Dance'"

On February 20th, 2008, the Chinese Spectacular presented by the touring Divine Performing Arts Company came to a successful end in The Hague, in the Netherlands. The Spectacular Show brought to the audience the splendour and magnificence of Chinese traditional culture. At the end of the performance, all the audience stood and burst into thunderous applause.

Stock Investment Manager Antonius and his wife Vivi told a reporter that they liked the whole show very much. Vivi said, “I know about Chinese dance and Chinese music because my parents are Chinese. I have lived in the Netherlands for many years but have not seen any performance like this anywhere in Europe”. What she liked most was 'Water Sleeves' and the 'Drum Dance'.

Antonius liked the 'Risen Lotus Flower'. He said, “I know the Great Cultural Revolution destroyed a lot of traditional Chinese culture”.

Their friend Anata, who works in a property and estate company, also liked the whole performance and the depiction of Chinese culture very much. Together with her were two Taiwanese girls now living in the Netherlands who shared the same feeling and commented that the show was very nice and very beautiful.
