(Clearwisdom.net) The "The Power of Awareness" performance in the Holiday Wonders show depicts police beating Falun Gong practitioners while they were telling others about the persecution. Seeing this, non-practitioners stepped forward to safeguard and uphold justice.
"The Power of Awareness" touches countless members of the audience each time it is performed. There was no exception for the audience attending the show staged at War Memorial Auditorium in Greensboro, North Carolina on December 23.
Clare Martin, a medical researcher at Duke University, said: "The show was very beautiful. It's beauty touched my heart, the message of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance touched my heart deeply, this is very important, should be recognized and acknowledged in our daily life."
Another member of the audience, Paul Staten, said: "I really appreciate you for integrating the spiritual content with the performances. I have heard of Falun Gong before, this show conveyed a correct message, I understood very well what happened in China. I can clearly recall that even in this summer, if searching on google.cn ( the Chinese version of Google), Falun Gong and Falun Dafa were still blocked by the Communist Chinese regime. I know that thousands of Falun Gong practitioners are being persecuted in China."
Gorun Halder, who attended the show with his wife and his parents, commented that the part about belief is very well conveyed, and also important. The DPA( Divine Performing Arts) emphasized the expression of belief. This is something that has been neglected in the western classic performances." "I grew up in Yugoslavia, where the persecution of religions is not new at all. The persecution of dissidents happens in every Communist country. I learned that from my country. I was told that the persecution of Falun Gong is very serious. That reminded me of the persecution in our country by the USSR."
Lorena Barkley, a financial analyst in Charlotte, said that, the show uplifted the audience's spirit. "It's truly great. We are very happy. The Divine Performing Arts is very professional. In the dances, they moved flawlessly and gracefully. It was almost perfect." Her father agreed with her. He pointed out that the "The Power of Awareness" was the most thoughtful performance.
Mr. Ye, a Burmese Chinese who has lived in the US over 20 years said: "I can understand the dance ("The Power of Awareness") about the CCP(Chinese Communist Party) persecuting Falun Gong. It passed on some very good messages to the audience. The CCP's persecution of Falun Gong should be condemned."
Curtis Borrow, a manager of a company in Charlotte, said: "Today's show displayed the injustice of what happened in China. I believe that singers and dancers are trying to convey a message, that is - the injustice still exists today, but not many people understand it."
