PHILADELPHIA—Shen Yun Performing Arts delighted audience members at the Miller Theater on April 19. Matt Hillman, president of EdTech, said, “Just seeing a different culture on stage has been wonderful.”
“The CGI effects—that was surprising. I wasn’t anticipating that as a part of the show, so I thought that was really interesting. Just seeing them come off the screen and onto the stage adds another dimension to the performance,” he said.
Mr. Hillman agreed that preserving tradition is very important for cultures today. “I think it’s very important to always preserve cultures and to be able to see another culture on stage. It’s not something I see regularly, so I think it’s really great to get exposed to,” he said.
“I just think that the dancing and the music alone, and the cultural exposure, are worth seeing. It’s a light and fun two hours,” Mr. Hillman said.
Mother and Son Have Enjoyed Shen Yun for Years
Raymond Bryan and his mother, Cathy, have seen Shen Yun many seasons and were anticipating another wonderful performance.
Mr. Bryan, a banquet manager for a hotel, said, “I like that it is not typical ballet, and I like that you have the screen, the interaction between the screen and real life.”
Shen Yun’s patented digital backdrop delights theatergoers with the way it interacts with the performers.
