MIAMI—It was a beautiful night for Jordan Franks when he attended a performance of Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts on March 15.

Mr. Franks, who owns a real estate and investment company, said, “I thought the costumes were beautiful, very colorful, and the dancing was amazing. I don’t know how they do it—It’s very physically demanding.”

Shen Yun features a patented digital backdrop that allows performers to integrate their movements with animated reality, which is an audience favorite. “I was looking at the curtains, like these huge curtains, they go all the way up to the roof, and it was amazing. I liked how the backdrop and the visuals synced with the dancers. It felt like it was three-dimensional,” he said.

“I didn’t know anything really about Falun Dafa before. I just knew that it was a meditative, peaceful practice. So, it was interesting to learn some of their philosophy from the male opera solo.”

“I’ve heard stories also from my side about doctors,” Mr. Franks said. “They were told they could get a heart for a heart transplant at any time from China. So they knew something was up. They said, ‘They [the communist regime] must be doing on-demand harvesting.’ So [the doctors] stopped receiving from them.”

“We support you,” he told Shen Yun and Falun Gong practitioners of their efforts to raise awareness about the human rights abuses in China.
