“It’s spectacular,” said Harris, a professor at the John Hopkins Carey Business School, adding that with such a long history, traditional Chinese culture should not be forgotten.
“Human beings are more than just numbers,” Harris said. “We are spiritual beings, so it’s important for us to celebrate our … spiritual self.”
Harris felt that the performers’ expression of their heritage and their quest for “self-discovery” was very uplifting. “The performers are projecting such positive energy,” he said.
The entire show was overwhelming, he added, noting the exceptional athletic ability of the dancers.
Shen Yun, ‘It’s thousands of years of culture’
Analyst Michael Donnelly and his wife Amy, who were watching Shen Yun for the second time, commented how great it was to watch the performance after being in lockdown for so long.“It’s interesting to see how people view heaven and salvation … it’s nice to have kind of a unique perspective,” Michael said, commenting on Shen Yun’s mini-drama where the Creator descends to earth to offer salvation to people.
John, a professor, said that Shen Yun had brought back memories of the Far East, where he grew up, and that he was happy to share some of those memories with his wife.
Both John and Kim felt uplifted by the performance.
