On Saturday, May 2, Patrice Baby experienced “a treat for both the mind and the eyes!” as he discovered New York-based Shen Yun.
“It’s phenomenal to see such choreography, such precision in the scenes and the dances—it’s breathtaking! I’m at a loss for words,” gushed the project manager at a major pharmaceutical and dermocosmetics company.
Dedication, Selflessness, Strength
Describing his own role as being “in a sales position where each individual’s contribution is crucial,” Mr. Baby said he was deeply moved by the dedication of the Shen Yun artists, who he said were answering “a calling” and presenting a vehicle for “powerful emotion.”“I am deeply moved to see such dedication, selflessness, and strength in the choreography, as this applies to both classical dance and competitive dance,” the project manager said.
Mr. Baby said he learned “a lot in that regard—about the connection that may exist between the heavens, our origins, and the events unfolding today.”
In a global context he considers complex, Mr. Baby emphasized the importance of this message: “It is more than important to reconnect with this link between heaven and earth.”
You Come Out a Completely Different Person
“Shen Yun is very moving!” the former executive in international trade said. “It’s true that you leave feeling completely different. I love Chinese dance—it’s magnificent! It’s hard to put into words, but it really touches my heart—I love it!”
Mr. Verschaeve praised the high caliber of the performers, as well as the visual and technical richness of the show; particularly the use of interactive digital scenery that is a hallmark of Shen Yun productions.
Moved by the spiritual and heartwarming nature of the show, Mr. Verschaeve said he was “very happy to have spent the evening there.”
“It’s hard to explain, but it’s absolutely wonderful,” he said.
For him, Shen Yun conveys a powerful message. “You have a message to share; you are messengers of ideas,” he said.
Impressed by the experience, Mr. Verschaeve said: “It’s absolutely one-of-a-kind! I came all the way from the North just to see the show again, and I’ll be back next year.”
