China Disabled People's Arts Troupe
China Disabled People's Arts Troupe was established in 1987. It is a
professional performing troupe subordinated to China Disabled Persons'
Federation. The handicapped members, either deaf, blind or retarded, are also
normal workers, farmers, students and employees. The Art Director and other
staff in charge of stage art, lighting, audio effects, costume design, vocals,
instrument playing and dancing are all leading domestic artists. Meanwhile, its
scientific and standard management and market-oriented operation have also
contributed to the professionalism of the troupe.
Behind every artistic achievement, the handicapped artists have paid more
effort, which is hard for normal people to imagine. While enjoying the
performance of high artistic pleasure, the audience often comprehends their
spirits of equal participation, constant struggle in adversity and the resolve
of never giving up.
With its unique artistic charm, the troupe endeavors to evoke real love and
friendship among the audience. For more than 15 years, the troupe has put on
stage more than a hundred performances, demonstrating the rich inner world of
the disabled. All of the performances are highly evaluated. Former Premier Zhu
Rongji once acclaimed that the troupe's performance "demonstrates the greatness
of human being and the power of will".
The troupe has toured more than 30 countries and regions in Asia, Europe,
America and Oceania. With their profound Chinese cultural background and ethnic
flavor, the troupe is well received all over the world and praised as the
"emissary of beauty and friendship".
