ORLANDO, Fla.—Thad Czapka, a realtor for Coldwell Banker and theatre donor at Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, where he watched Shen Yun Performing Arts on March 18, said “this is one of the best productions I’ve seen so far!”
“This is the first time I’ve seen it and it’s amazing … I loved it,” he said, “the costumes, the design, the orchestra, everything is absolutely wonderful!”
“The choreography is amazing … and the way they do the choreography with the background screening is absolutely beautiful,” he said.
In 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched a persecution campaign against the spiritual practice, which is also called Falun Gong, and adherents have since been subjected to unprecedented imprisonment, torture, and abuse.
“It’s very educating as far as what has happened since the beginning of China to now and the struggles that they’re having with human rights,” said Mr. Czapka, “humans deserve to have the rights to live and be themselves.”
“I think it’s very important to bring it to this generation,” he said, “we all want peace, we all want to live and get along with each other [and] we want to respect each other’s backgrounds.”
“I would love to see this again,” he said.
