NEW YORK—Shen Yun Performing Arts gave another performance to a receptive audience at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center on April 13. Peter Esposito, a director of cybersecurity, and his wife Karen, a retired teacher, enjoyed the dances and how they were presented.
She said she appreciated the skill and technique of all the dancers.
“They’re synchronized perfectly. They really look like they worked very hard to just get this whole show going,” she said.
Mr. Esposito said the story-dance “The Restaurant” conveyed a spirit of cooperation. “It’s a little funny and was easy to follow. They came together. They helped the restaurant owner get his restaurant back in operation. They saved everyone’s jobs.”
Mrs. Esposito commented on Shen Yun’s mission of reviving China’s lost heritage. “It’s a very good culture.”
Mr. Esposito agreed that China’s culture has a long history, adding, “it was surprising to hear that you wouldn’t be able to see this in China.”
