HIROSHIMA, Japan—It’s not every day that a professor of economics finds himself in the realm of the heavens. Mr. Ishida teaches economics at a university in Hiroshima. He came to the DPA show at ASLOK Hall in Hiroshima, Japan. “I thought the whole show was wonderful, but the opening act, where China’s entire 5,000-year history is laid out, was a great surprise.”
Professor Ishida is referring to the dance The Five Millennia Begin in which many different kinds of heavenly beings descend from heavens to establish the culture of the Middle Kingdom, also known as China.
“We tend to forget our connection to the Gods because we are busy with our daily lives, but the show reconnects us to the divine, which I thought was fabulous.
“The show introduces Chinese history through the performing arts, and it’s simply great. I’m glad I came.
“This is the type of show you don’t get to see often in Japan. It’s worth coming to and seeing,” he said.
DPA’s final show in Japan will be at Umeda Arts Show in Osaka.
