OTTAWA, Canada—Shen Yun Performing Arts sold-out show at Ottawa’s National Arts Centre was a warm spot in a national capital shaking off a snowstorm from earlier in the day.
Jennifer Scharf, a forensic analyst and audio and video specialist for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, said during the show’s intermission that she was “definitely a big fan of the production.”
It was her second time to see Shen Yun.
“Every time I attend these performances I feel like I get to peer back through time to see highlights of a Chinese civilization that’s so vast and has evolved over so many years. I feel like it’s opened my eyes to a whole new human potential.”
Shen Yun was founded in 2006 on a mission to revive 5,000 years of divinely-inspired Chinese civilization. The show features classical Chinese dance, an art form passed down largely through imperial courts, dynasty after dynasty.
