Germany: "This show can help people distinguish between good and evil"

On the afternoon of March 16th, 2008, despite the rain, people came to see the final show of the Divine Performing Arts (DPA) at the Berlin International Congress Center. German Parliamentarian Ms. Behm, Berlin's Charlotte District Council Member Mr. Krueger and his family, the general manager of the Berlin Hilton Hotel, the Assistant to the Minister of the German Department of the Environment, and other celebrities enjoyed the show.

The Berlin audience

The show started at 4:00 p.m. The first performance, "Descent of the Celestial Kings," moved the audience to immediate, warm applause.

German Parliamentarian: This show can help people distinguish between good and evil. It is a very touching performance.

Ms. Behm, German parliamentarian, came to enjoy the show with her family. She complimented the performance, "I am so impressed. I did not know beforehand what this show would mean to me. It was very appealing and elegant. The costumes are so beautiful."

"The main theme is very clear. This show can help people distinguish between good and evil. It is very unique and touching."

She thought that "The Risen Lotus Flower" was especially good. (It is a story about three female Falun Gong practitioners being tortured by guards in jail. One of them is tortured to death and goes to a magnificent heaven, which gives the practitioners still alive hope and confidence to continue their determination to cultivate.) She said, "This performance particularly illustrated the main theme. The entire show is very good. It gives people hope. It tells people to never give up hope and that eventually there will be a good ending."

Berlin District Council Member: I like the theme of humanity

Berlin Charlotte District Council Member Mr. Joachim Krueger said to the reporter, "I did not know too much about Chinese culture. I am very glad that I have had this opportunity today to understand Chinese culture."

"The basic theme of the show is to demonstrate humanity, non-violence, and peace. I think these are all very important. These elements are contained in both Eastern and Western cultures." Mr. Krueger said, "I liked the Mongolian Bowl Dance, the drum dance, and the fine instrument, the Erhu, the elegant colors, and the theme of humanity. I will recommend this show to everybody."

Mrs. Krueger very much admired the show and told the reporter that she was going home filled with compassion.

Chairman of The Victims of Stalin Memorial Library Foundation: I cannot find any better words to describe it

Ms. Popiolek, Chairman of The Victims of Stalin Memorial Library Foundation, said enthusiastically after the show, "I have rarely seen a show as perfect as this in both content and format. It contains traditional meaning and sincerity. It provides such a beautiful and enjoyable experience. I cannot find any better words to describe it."

Ms. Popiolek thought what was particularly important was the show's message about being against the persecution by a dictatorship. She said, "I believe everybody could understand it. People understand the meaning of the dance 'The Power of Awareness.' The three words on the banner held by the little girl were clearly showing 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." The meaning is very clear."

"I was deeply impressed by this show. I will absolutely recommend it to others."
