LAS VEGAS—For many years, Frank and Haley Hatch wanted to attend Shen Yun Performing Arts, but tickets were always sold out. On March 3, they decided to travel to Las Vegas just to see a show at the Smith Center for the Performing Arts.
“The colors, the costumes, the [stories] going back from the ancient time to what [China] is dealing with now— everything was stunning. The only words I can think of to describe the show are stunning, vibrant, and beautiful.”
Since Shen Yun’s establishment, the New York-based artists have made it their mission to bring back the glory of China’s lost civilization.
Mrs. Hatch loved the traditional values of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance that were demonstrated by the artists, stating that it was “absolutely beautiful.”
“[Portraying] the divine above with the kindness and purity that they have is just so beautiful. Thank you,” she expressed.
“How they bring [the audience] to the peach fairy gardens—I absolutely loved it. I used to watch all the little cartoons as a little girl. So, seeing that in live action was just stunning.”
Mr. Hatch chimed in that they will for sure be back next year.
“I can’t wait to come back next year. I hope I’m able to get [the tickets] soon enough because it’s always sold out. Everything was breathtaking. The artist director is a genius,” he said, adding that he will be purchasing both the Chinese and English versions of “Zhuan Falun,” the principal text of Falun Gong practitioners.
“I can’t wait to read it,” Mr. Hatch expressed.
“For our library, we want to get the Chinese one too. I think it’s so interesting to just have it as a part of our library. I travel a lot for work, so I’m always on an airplane. This is really good for [reading on] the plane.”
“They’re so beautiful, and their performance was beyond amazing. It was absolutely gorgeous,” she added.
“I was crying during some of these parts because you can feel [the heart] from them—it was beautiful.”
