CUPERTINO, Calif.—The Divine Performing Arts (DPA) Chinese New Year Spectacular brings 5,000 years of culture to the stage at Cupertino’s Flint Center for Performing Arts.
Sally and Jim own a law firm in San Mateo and greatly appreciate not only the dancing but also the presentation of ancient Chinese culture and philosophy that comes to life on stage during the show for the western world to enjoy.
“I like the dancers, because they are experts at what they do. I’m also enjoying it because it is very different from what I’m used to [not only] the dancing and the numbers, but the philosophical meaning behind the dancing, so it’s lovely,” said Sally.
Sally added, “The philosophical [meaning] goes back … thousands of years.”
From the opening scene, “The Five Millennia Begin,” the audience gets a glimpse of the most profound philosophical belief among Chinese: “Chinese classical culture come from a higher source.” A common theme throughout the show is the belief that China’s culture was divinely inspired.
Both Sally and Jim enjoyed learning about Chinese history through the performances. Not only from the performance pieces, including the historic stories of Mulan and The great poet Li Bai, but also the dance movements and painted backdrops that are created using traditional techniques. Sally recognized the long history of these art forms saying: “I presume that this is classical dancing, so this choreography must have also gone back thousands of years.”
Her husband Jim was also appreciative of DPA for consciously maintaining these traditions and presenting them to the Western world. “I think that there is a lot of history. This show has a lot of history in it. It goes back thousands of years, and I think that coming to a country that is so young, this is something that we do enjoy and appreciate, because we don’t have that yet. So it is nice to see that they maintain that and hold onto it.”
Jim also added, “The music is quite beautiful and they’re very, very well trained and very well rehearsed.”
When asked what his favorite piece was Jim stated, “We enjoyed the opening piece and the last one before the intermission was quite nice [‘Drummers of the Tang Court’]. But they all have a different aspect to them that brings us a lot of enjoyment and pleasure.”
Jim concluded stating, “I hope that people can see it all over the country—its wonderful! Its great! We are very happy to be here. We are very glad they [DPA] came.”
