“It’s unbelievably good. I mean, it’s really worth seeing. It’s enchanting, fascinating, touching, and absolutely amazing,” Victoria Bergér, an equestrian coach, said.
“It was really impressive. For me, it was a new glimpse into Chinese culture, which I wasn’t very familiar with. And I think I’ve learned a lot about it now, including the mindset, the attitude, the strength, and the values. I found it very impressive,” Martin Thallmair, a chief surgeon, said.
“It’s hard to describe exactly what it was. There was so much to it, and it touched me deep in my heart and soul, reinforcing the calling I’m currently following. [What we saw] today was really fascinating,” Ms. Bergér said. “The world is changing quite a lot right now, and we have to figure out how to participate or how we can best cope with it all. And [what we saw] today has been truly fascinating or, actually, inspiring.”
“I’d say it’s a whole package,” Mr. Thallmair said. “I liked the variety, women and men together, the different cultures, the different regions, the different ethnic groups.”
Kathleen Damerius, a business consultant, said, “Of course, I enjoy the cheerful aspects. But coupled with the context that this is no longer possible in China, and that this culture is, to some extent, not allowed to be lived, it makes it so contrasting, and that’s what makes it so fascinating. It simply presents both sides of the coin in such a wonderful way.”
Petra Borgolte-Faupel, an elementary school principal, said, “[The music] was also very good, because it’s simply special and truly touches the soul. And we also had this piece, I don’t remember exactly what the instrument is called, but it was with only two strings. And it was simply incredible how the lady played it and got so much out of it. You could tell right from the start, and it just kept getting better and better as she played it. It was very fascinating,” she said of the Chinese two-stringed erhu.
“Respect, appreciation, honor, decency, compassion,” Herbert Fritz, a retired entrepreneur, said.
“Mainly faith, hope, and love. Lots and lots of love,” Ms. Bergér said.
“I think it’s about having faith in what’s good and believing that doing good is worthwhile. And upholding and living by those values. And that the reward lies in the act itself. And also seeing the bigger picture,” Mr. Thallmair said. “That we should preserve the tradition and that it will all work out in the end, through a universal force, so to speak, through the gods.”
Mr. Thallmair added, “I’d say it was a very interesting, very entertaining, and impressive evening. So, everything was absolutely perfect, really. It was a lot of fun, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it.”
“Come see for yourself and let yourself be enchanted,” Ms. Bergér said.
