“I can feel the spirituality in each choreography, in each scene. ... Truth is, what this performance expresses is tranquility. One comes with the daily rush, from the office. ... In this, I find a relaxing space, one of beauty and enjoyment and joy in this show. I really also feel peace.”

“It also happened the first time I came, and now I feel that again—that serenity, that message of goodness. Peace is again present, the good, the diversity.”

“This is the second time I’ve come [to see Shen Yun]. It’s a pleasure to the eyes. It’s getting to know a culture, … ancient traditions that one might not know, and one starts discovering them with this, such a quality show.”

“I would describe [the performance] as a space for reflection, to get together, a space of joy, of hope, and respect for diversity.”
