What is blowing my mind is that the east is finally allowing more artistic expression and freedom of expression. Although these shows haven't been created in Asia, it's a giant step forward that they are allowing the presence of art. I love the idea that they are including a cast from Asia. These countries are really trying to gain momentum in the world's scene, not just through the Olympics, economic standings, but now through talent.
What I want to ask is why this is changing now? Is performance art becoming a standpoint for how countries are seen in the world's standing?
