OTTAWA—Having seen the Divine Performing Arts (DPA) show at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa on Sunday, internationally recognized women’s rights advocate Ms. Moreria was struck by the spiritual essence portrayed in the performances.
“It was a very spiritual show. I’m amazed at how, with beauty and grace, they showed the sacred principles from the universe.”
She said the universal truths captured in the DPA performances filled her with hope.
Divine Performing Arts gains its creative inspiration from traditional Chinese culture that emphasized virtues such as piousness, compassion, and tolerance.
In Brazil, Ms. Moreria ran an educational program to combat hunger by preserving indigenous knowledge about traditional nutrition, medicine, and agriculture. She now lives in Ottawa and studies traditional medicine systems. In the past, she has given presentations at major international women’s conferences about her research.
“We are all from traditional cultures, which all believe that when we know the truth, no matter how crazy the world becomes, we still have hope,” she said.
“I feel so honoured to see how the artists showed spiritual principles to everyone because now it’s time to share the truth with everyone.”
She said she could see that the DPA show is a presentation of ancient stories showing the importance of compassion. She was truly amazed that truthful principles were portrayed with such beauty, grace, and simplicity.
One of the dances that stood out for Ms. Moreria was “Dignity and Compassion.” The dance is set in a prison in China where a Falun Dafa prisoner of conscience is being cruelly tortured.
When her captor falls asleep, he is visited by an otherworldly vision in which guardian deities seek to claim his life as repayment for his terrible act. The persecuted believer then appears as a Bodhisattva and is moved by compassion to have the man’s life spared.
“She showed full compassion. … That was really nice,” she said.
She was also impressed by the use of technology in the animated backdrop that gives each dance a dynamic setting. Ms. Moreria congratulated DPA for all that they accomplished with the show.
The Divine Performing Arts 2009 World Tour sold out several of its shows in Ottawa and earned standing ovations at many of its performances. The show will now continue on to Waterloo for two performances on January 6 and 7 before moving on to Toronto for shows from January 8 to 14.
