Owen Sergeant, an accountant, was also in the audience on Thursday.
“It was wonderful,” he said. “I have learnt a lot. I find the show very inspirational.”
Mr. Seargeant enjoyed the simplicity of the monks in Joyful Little Monks, a dance that depicts young apprentice monks humorously having fun while cleaning their monastery.
“It shows how people can enjoy the simple tasks of life,” he said.
Mr. Seargeant enjoyed how the performance is “packed with action, [which] could be very suitable for children.”
“I know children can learn a lot from the show,” said Mr. Seargeant. “I encourage the community at large to support a show like this.”
