Alvin loved every piece in the performance. He felt that the show "wakes me up inside, cheers me inside, and unlike a common dance, it knocks at our heart."

Mary is a marketing director at a large retail company. She and her husband Mark attended the third show in Montreal.

The fabric of the costumes was extraordinary, and the silk enhanced the show.

Mary's husband Mark is an investigator at the Montreal Police Department. He praised the show by saying that the artists were excellent and the costumes were gorgeous.

Mark was also impressed by the diverse and precise movements of the dances. He found that some movements were complicated, very appealing but obviously not easy to execute. It required hard training.

Mark continued by saying that the show reflected social values such as peacefulness and compassion, which are very important. The contrast between good and evil was very well done, with the good ultimately triumphing over evil, and good people being rewarded. He thought this was a very important message for society.
