SAN DIEGO—The Divine Performing Arts (DPA) 2009 World Tour held at the San Diego Civic Theatre caught the interest of Catherine, an artist, her friend, and another group of nine of family and friends.

Catherine said that the programs is “so beautifully done” and there is no need for commentary. She and her friend enjoyed the show very much. They admired the animated backdrops being included in the stage presentation. The artwork and the costumes were also extraordinary.

“Really worth seeing,” she said.

Leopoldo Rubio, who brought along his wife, daughter and six of their friends, said the presentation is no ordinary show.

“This is the first time I have seen this kind of show,” he said. “It’s not like show business ... everything is very spiritual. They are doing a good job.”

Ancient Chinese divine culture was played out upon a stage in folk stories, legends, music, dance and song.

“Sometimes we don’t know a lot of things. What they are showing us is that there’s more to China than what we know. They are trying to give us their arts and culture, we think of China a different way ... it’s industrial,” said Mr. Rubio.

“I think the music is beautiful, they are using a lot of instruments that we are not used to, you know.”

Mr. Rubio said that his own Mexican culture is very rich, but different.

“My first impression is that [China’s] spiritual culture was like cut, you know about 40 or 50 years ago when the communists came, and [DPA] is trying to revive that for the younger people, because the spiritual culture has changed. Mexico is something that changed about 500 years ago when we were conquered by the Spaniards.”
