Stages of the East - Calgary Philosopher: Divine Performing Arts is promoting the renaissance of orthodox China’s culture.
On the 3rd of May, the Divine Performing Arts held the last show of its Global tour in Calgary, the Cowboy capital of Canada.
After watching the performance, Foster Walker - a philosopher, thought Divine Performing Arts is promoting the renaissance of orthodox Chinese culture, and the show gave him a new understanding of China.
Foster Walker is a professor of philosophy at the University of Calgary. His main interest is on the research of 20th century Anglo-American philosophy of sports.
Mr Walker told our reporter excitedly “Superb! Not only do I like the dancing and choreography, I also like the spiritual aspect emitted from the show. The show was simply fantastic! I could not say which act I like the most. I can only say I like every act.”
He went on to comment “Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance and they are impossible to forget.”
Mr Foster also explained “I am very happy to see such splendid orthodox China’s cultural is being revived in modern society, and its affect. Such beautiful philosophy and such graceful art.”
Foster said in conclusion, the show brought him new understanding of China: “I understand that such performance can not be staged in Mainland China, I also know that these actors can not go to China to perform. I think the show presented a China that has 5,000-year of history, and is completely different from the contemporary China. I am very pleased to see this contrast. “
