He noted the colors, the harmony, the music, but a deeper message came through. “What has caught my attention the most is what is being transmitted to me: this prohibition of free circulation, of being able to express oneself freely in any aspect. I cannot conceive of it.”
Although he was not familiar with Chinese culture, Mr. Iglesias was surprised that a major power like China “has these prohibitions for its citizens, that they cannot move freely, that they cannot think. I was very unpleasantly surprised [by the lack of freedom in China.]”
The communist regime’s suppression of its citizens was difficult for Jorge. “The act is beautiful but what they transmit is very hard to digest in a democracy, as is Spain, as is Europe.”
Shen Yun Helps Us to Connect With the Divine
She said, “It moves to another dimension. Your soul, your spirit connects with that and you realize that we have to reconnect with that divine being on earth.”
Ms. Belem was somewhat familiar with Chinese culture but “what struck me the most is the form of purity, the energy that is transmitted, and the colors.”
She was saddened by the injustice in China today with the “injustice that they practice today with organ trafficking. Because you belong to a religion, that happens to you in China. It’s horrible.”
A story-based dance in this year’s program touched on the Chinese communist regime’s persecution of people of faith, which includes live organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience.
Ms. Belem said the spirituality presented “is super important. Humanity is going through a very deep change of consciousness. What has surprised me is the words that we can no longer express.”
She said, “This work of art is the language that people need for that great awakening of the consciousness of humanity, from being a human to being an elevated, spiritual being.
She expressed how important it was for everyone to see Shen Yun. “I realized now in the last part that it is super, super, super important because we had [in the audience] little children and older children. [The show] makes us understand what is happening with our transformation.
“It is very important for everybody to see it because words are not going to work; just a stage play with the colors and with this energy that it transmits is how they connect with us.”
Ms.Belem said Shen Yun helps everyone to “understand and go through this great transformation.”
