Sitting in the audience of the Plaza Theatre, Mrs. Maldonado was impressed and thought the show was very educational.
“It’s beautiful. I didn’t know that they weren’t allowed to [perform] in China currently. That’s sad,” she stated.
“I think it’s great—I’m reading about the artistic director and [how] he’s keeping Chinese culture alive and the history alive through the school. I think that’s wonderful.”
In the 2024 touring season, Shen Yun performers will be traveling to over 200 cities across five continents to share with the world, through dance and music, the beauty of pre-communist China.
“That’s very creative. I’ve never seen that before. It’s very unique.”
“It’s great, it’s amazing. Very acrobatic and traditional,” he exclaimed.
As a history educator, Mr. Maldonado has studied a lot about Chinese history and culture. He was happy to find resonance in the culture and ethnic traditions depicted by Shen Yun artists.
He will “absolutely, 100%” recommend Shen Yun to his friends and family.
“It’s very historically based. I really do like it because it’s historically accurate. The Qing dynasty and the Mongolians in Mongolia—It’s very accurate. I love it.”
