YOKOSUKA, Japan—Shen Yun Performing Arts performed at the Yokosuka Arts Theater on April 28 and brought to the audience the essence of traditional Chinese culture. President of a U.S.-based advertising company Ms. Gotou Reika said after the performance: “The dances are so inspiring and mesmerizing. I could not take my eyes away from the stage. I did not want to miss a thing. There are a lot of strong emotions in the dancing. I had very strong feelings toward the stories and echoed with them.”
Ms. Gotou said that she learned about Shen Yun from a brochure. “To revive the Chinese traditions, the artists from around the world gathered in the U.S. and promote the essence of Chinese traditions to the world in the form of art. This is really touching, I think what they are doing is magnificent.”
“The costumes from various dynasties and ethnic groups are so rich and colorful. They had their own unique features. They are so gorgeous, and such an eye-opener,” she said.
“The dance Phoenix Fairies is unbelievably charming. I felt like I was sitting in a celestial heaven with the special effects created by the enchanting colors, graceful artists, and the backdrop animation. I can still see it vividly in my head now. It is such a visual feast.”
In conclusion, Ms. Gotou said, “There is a message I got from watching the performance and that is, as long as we do good deeds and be kind to others, gods will protect us.”
