WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.—Shen Yun Performing Arts performed at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in Dreyfoos Hall on April 30. Thomas Salvatore attended the performance with Ruthann Eckert, who performs in dance and theater, and her son.
He recommended this for everyone in how to live life. “It’s just a presence. It’s a mindfulness in everything that you do, and when you live your life or express yourself through the heart, it’s powerful, so it can move you.”
Shen Yun poured out a powerful energy that resonated with him. “100 percent from the source, I guess, from the Creator,” Mr. Salvatore said.
Ms. Eckert, who has performed in plays and on TV shows, said, “I loved the athleticism with the dancing and how powerful their dancing is.” She said her son told her about Shen Yun. “Yes, he introduced me to this show. I would have never seen it or known about it.”
The lyrics spoke of the end time. “The lyrics, the words, and then the performers’ tones—Her voice was amazing. I did [hear that]: a beginning and an end. I remember that in the beginning, the first line is about the impermanence of life. I don’t remember what the exact words were, but it talked about that.”
Ms. Eckert said, “I’ve loved every single second of it. It’s very powerful and very moving.”

Ms. Falco said the music impressed her. “I think the music’s beautiful. I love that it’s, I don’t know, it’s just a little … I’m trying to think of the word.”
