GENEVA—Mr. Dominguez, manager of a Swiss airline, was amazed by the debut performance of the world-acclaimed Shen Yun Performing Arts, staged at the Theatre de Leman in Geneva, Sept 29.
"Tonight is the first time I have gotten to see this performance. I am really delighted, and I would even say completely amazed at what we have seen here tonight," Mr. Dominguez said.
He was touched by the uplifting values presented in the portrayal of China's five-millennia old traditional culture in classical Chinese dance and music.
"It's true that when you're at the head of a company there is a lot of pressure from the business perspective. A step back like this, even if it's just for one evening ... allows us to reflect."
Mr. Dominguez reflected on how management decisions impacted fellow human beings and understands now how moral values would make a difference when planning in business.
"You fully experience the show; you're in the show and they carry you away. They make you take off and really put you in a bubble where you have time to appreciate what is before you.
“I'd say it's a different experience, a show that raises awareness of human values.”
In one vignette, Heaven Awaits Us Despite Persecution, a father is tortured to death for his spiritual belief leaving behind a distraught wife and daughter.
"The emotion from this, especially that little girl, is wonderful and has single-handedly left a [lasting] impression on us.”
The story bespeaks of an old Chinese adage that good will be rewarded and evil punished, even if not in this lifetime.
"It somewhat brings back human morals to the center of it all, even if it's just for one evening, which in my opinion, allows some people to change ... perhaps not fundamentally their way of being, but even if five or 10 percent [change], there's a part that has changed. I'd say it's an experience that we must share with lots of people."
