Shen Yun Performing Arts World Company kicked off its first performance in South Korea this season at the Sohyang Theatre in Busan on Feb. 2.
“I have attended countless performances. Only Shen Yun amazed me,” Ms. Hyun said. “The color schemes are astonishing. No matter the male costumes or the female costumes, all costumes are astoundingly beautiful.”
“The costumes in one female dance is in the same color as that national treasure jade. The saturation of colors is magnificent,” she said.
“Both the male and female dancers displayed their respective strengths, spirits, and aesthetic lines. They were inspiring, and delivered positive messages,” she said. “They were so harmonious: the male dancers were so masculine, and the female dancers so feminine. It was very entertaining to see the contrast in the dances. It’s gorgeous.”
Ms. Hyun also found the backdrop very interesting. “The dancers entered the backdrop and then came back. With the 3-D design, it’s so vivid.”
“I learned a lot from Shen Yun. I was inspired,” she said.
