ATLANTA—The debut of the New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts New York Company, held at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre on March 8, was highly regarded by the audience in Atlanta.
High school teacher from China, Zeng Xinghua was very excited after seeing Shen Yun’s colorful and exhilarating show that evening.
“It was fantastic! This is the real traditional Chinese culture. The dances, music, songs and orchestra were all amazing and superb! The performance this evening presented a perfect entity, not individual. The coordination effort was outstanding,” she praised.
Zeng returns to China at least once a year. This was her first time seeing Shen Yun. ”I’ve heard great things about Shen Yun for a long time, and I think its reputation is well supported,” said Zeng.
A collection of stories from ancient times to the present are portrayed by exquisitely attired dancers, each one unfolds like a book that demonstrates China’s 5,000-year history, she said.
“The storylines were profound and touching, full of traditional spirit. For example, the story of The Heroic Lu Zhishen embodies the traditional value of punishing evil and promoting kindness,” said Zeng.
“Through the perfect art performance, Shen Yun tells us what is kindness, righteousness and beauty. It promotes and guides people to be good, which brings inspiration and makes us think deeper. It also allows us to be able to tell the difference between beauty and ugliness, good and bad.”
Shen Yun’s artists embody a wealth of talent, she enthused.
“Every individual does an excellent job yet the overall feeling of the performances is harmonious. This is not easy to do. I believe it is because that all the artists hold a common belief.”
