News - Audience Captivated by Shen Yun's Journey Through Historic Chinese Culture

A recent performance by Shen Yun in Louisiana captivated audiences with its impressive choreography, storytelling, and vibrant depiction of Chinese civilization before communism. Mr. Adamo, an attendee, noted, 'It was pretty amazing, the discipline, the choreography, and the practice. It was nice to watch. The music and the whole performance did tell a story, and I felt like I learned something.' Shen Yun, based in New York, is dedicated to reviving 5,000 years of Chinese culture and connecting people with their historical roots. The performance left a significant impression on viewers, including Ms. Bruno, who appraised it for enriching her understanding of pre-communist Chinese culture and the profound faith displayed by its people. 'I feel like I learned more about the culture before communism. And I was impressed with the faith of the people,' she shared. Echoing this sentiment, Mr. Adamo added, 'It was incredible. It was captivating; it really was. I love watching people who are well-disciplined in any discipline.' Throughout the show, audiences were treated to moments of humor and reflection, making for a well-rounded experience. Mr. Adamo observed, 'There's a bit of comedy in there. It was funny as well.' He also expressed a fondness for traditional values depicted during the performance: 'I think a lot of classic and old school traditional mentalities is the way forward.' One of the compelling themes showcased was the impact of modern technology, which resonated with Ms. Bruno. 'It made me think about the past when I did not have a cell phone and how people communicated better and had more family. I think all cultures feel like they’re losing that.' These reflections were intensified by her belief in a higher power, reinforced during the performance: 'I think that God's powerful. Another thing today I was thinking about—anxiety. Our bodies are peaceful, but when we think about the future, we start to get anxious. So we have to put our faith in the Creator.' Musical elements of the performance also stood out, with Ms. Bruno extolling the excellence of the female singer's voice: 'The female singer was incredible. Her voice was outstanding.' The show successfully intertwined traditional art forms with messages of faith and resilience, leaving audiences both entertained and contemplative about the intersection of past and modern values.
