“The combination of the multimedia when you see, for example, the warriors coming down from the mountain and all of the sudden they appear on stage, it’s very well done,” she said.
Mr. Pietsch said he particularly enjoyed the dances that depicted ancient legends that included celestial soldiers and warriors, such as the Qing Imperial Guards. The Manchurians are a northern ethnic group who founded China’s final dynasty, the Qing. As fighters, they were highly disciplined … embodying a spirit of strength, dignity, and refinement, according to the program booklet.
He said: “The warriors, were actually very presenting for me because the acts in itself were very dramatic and showing very dramatic movements, so I’m actually very fascinated by that.”
