“[The performance] was one of the most special and amazing things I’ve ever seen on a dance floor. I’m very impressed,” said Thor Haraldsson, an acupuncture clinic owner. “There’s so much tradition in Chinese history. It’s like it ties a common thread through. I really liked the stories [set in modern times] and the stories that were from before communism. [The performance] seems so much on a higher level. It seems like you live on a higher level. It’s more balanced.”
“It’s so spectacular and so beautiful. The way the story, the dancers’ costume, and all the colors and the film play together, it’s really well done. Really great timing,” said Anette Heilmann, an architect.
Sara Fini, a lawyer, said, “It was really nice, the storytelling too. You could understand it well. I think they conveyed both the dance and the music really well. I also think the musical elements were really good.”
Mr. Haraldsson added, “I think [the erhu] is very deep, it touches emotions. I really liked it. Such a simple instrument with only two strings, but it can create so many sounds and so many dimensions in the music.”
Christina Davidsen, a business owner, said, “I do like the mix of the stories and the pantomimes and the dances.”
“This was what we were going for, it was to experience this traditional Chinese culture. That was actually what caught our attention. It was also promoted that it was before communism came to China. I really think that it captures a lot of the history and up through, and including some of the distinctions about what it is like in China today. I think it was a really good show,” said Martin Werner Thomsen, a team manager at Energinet.
“It’s a reminder, we are more disconnected from the divine in Denmark. In that way, it’s really nice to see how it’s integrated into Chinese culture,” Ms. Fini said.
Mr. Haraldsson said, “I would say that if you haven’t seen it, you should go and see it. Experience it, hear it, see it, and feel it.”
