Mr. Bernacchia described a very special scene he was presented with when entering the theater: “When I walked in [to the theater], and I looked up, I saw that we were sitting in a lotus flower.”

Mr. Bernacchia continued, “The woman who sat next to us said she comes here year after year, and she said the music touches each organ and hits the heart, the spleen, the lungs, and you could feel the vibrations from the music coming. ... This was the right place to be at the time.”

Because of his practice in Buddhism, Mr. Bernacchia thought that he was able to feel the energy “from the stage and from the crowd as well. As everyone’s energy built up. It’s like everyone felt empowered at the same time. Many in body, one in mind.”

“The color of the energy is purple.” Mr. Bernacchia said, “I felt the energy, I felt a lot in my lungs where it needs cleansing, and also in my heart because my heart is usually open.”

Ms. Fox said, “The entire performance touched me. The hard work that the dancers have put in, and everything like the colors, the art, the music, the way it flows through you, everything. It was blowing me away.”
