PITTSBURGH—County councilman Bob Macey watched Shen Yun Performing Arts’ matinee performance at The Benedum Center for the Performing Arts on April 26. It was Mr. Macey’s second time seeing Shen Yun.
“I think it’s wonderful that we can share each other’s cultures,” Mr. Macey said. “What amazed me is this has been sold out over and over again. So there’s a desire to know other people, other cultures, and to enjoy what a wonderful experience this is, to see the color, the talent, and the synchronization of the people who performed on stage. Absolutely wonderful.”
“I think it’s something that people need to understand, that just because we live in America, a free country, that not every place in this world is free,” Mr. Macey said. “We need to share our experiences, our strengths, and our hopes for other people in this nation as well as this world.”
Due to Shen Yun’s depiction of the persecution happening in China, Shen Yun is not allowed to perform in China. Mr. Macey said he believes that Shen Yun “should be experienced by everybody.”
“It’s colorful, it is very inspirational, and the talent just goes on and on,” he said. “It’s unbelievable how in sync the whole performance was, and I recommend it for everybody.”
