HONOLULU—A data analyst returned to see Shen Yun Performing Arts on May 10, delighted by the new programs while continuing to be amazed by the dance and music.
“This is the second time I’ve seen the Shen Yun show. And I never get tired of it. It’s so graceful and beautiful. And I love the choreography. It’s wonderful. And the storytelling is good,” Ed Garrison said, at the Blaisdell Concert Hall in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Believing that traditional Chinese values in the ancient past were a threat to its existence, the Chinese regime has been “systematically uprooting traditional beliefs,” according to the company. Now, Shen Yun tours the world under the tagline “China before communism.”
Garrison was impressed by Shen Yun’s unique orchestra, which combines classical Western and Chinese instruments.
“Very professional, pleasant. Crescendos at the right time, decrescendos at the right moment. I mean, everything, it follows the storyline beautifully,” he said.
He also applauded the soprano’s performance, saying that she had an “incredibly powerful voice.”
“I just know that she was passionate about it,” he added.
One particular dance story, the Story of the Village Boy and the Fairy, left him with a deep impression.
“It’s an interesting story,” Garrison said, leaving him with the impression that “anything is possible with love.”
Garrison said he looked forward to seeing Shen Yun performers’ return.
“I hope to see you again because each time I’m surprised with something new. Thank you for the performance.”
