“It was really beautiful,” said Mr. Bezděk. He also complimented the dancers who “put on a beautiful performance and have my admiration.”
Shen Yun is based in New York, and its mission is to revive 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture.
Mr. Bezděk’s ticket was originally a gift for his brother, but he ended up coming to the performance instead.
“I’m actually here by chance because it was a present for my brother, who unfortunately couldn’t come today, so I came ... and I honestly think my brother will regret it very much that he wasn’t here,” the director said.
Anna Briestenská, a surgeon, expressed her wish for Shen Yun’s continuous success.
“I wish for them to dance this beautifully all the time. This performance is perfection,” she said.
“It’s like one person is dancing, and we are looking at that dancer through a kaleidoscope. A wonderful performance, really,” she praised.
“It was ... really shocking to me how they did it,” said Ms. Briestenská of the projection technology. Shen Yun’s website tells us that the backdrop “creates seamless interaction between projection and performers on stage—an invention so original it has its own patent.”
