TAOYUAN, Taiwan- The Taoyuan County Performing Arts Center was full on March 13. Yu Tsai-Teng was one of the audience members who could not wait to see Shen Yun International company perform.
Mr. Yu is Chair of Taiyuan City Representative Council. He was very impressed by the way the dances combined softness and strength, and said, “Shen Yun expressed power and beauty through Chinese classical dance, which was brilliant!”
The New York based company uses classical Chinese dance, ethnic dance, original music, and high tech animated projected backdrops to revive traditional Chinese culture.
“The orchestra combines Chinese and Western Instruments and its music blends perfectly with the background projection and the dances. The background animation was part of the story and allows us to see all the famous mountains and great waters in China. It makes the audiences feel that they are part of the story. I not only enjoyed the stories but totally understood what the stories were about,” said Mr. Yu.
Mr. Yu’s wife said she loved the dance Little Mischievous Monks. She said, “The dancing expressed the story in a fun way, very lively. The entire show was in every way exquisite and exceedingly beautiful.”
