Established in New York, Shen Yun features classical Chinese dance with live orchestral accompaniment and animated backdrops. Audience members marveled at the artistry of the performance.
“Absolutely fantastic—truly flawless. The performance was absolutely spectacular,” said Huang Chih-Hung, the president of Rotary Club of Taoyuan Go. “I am truly grateful to Shen Yun Performing Arts for giving us the honor of enjoying their wonderful performances every year. In fact, I had previously suggested that they come to Taiwan twice a year. This is truly amazing, like a royal experience.”
“In my heart, Shen Yun’s performances, no matter which year they are here, are all precise, exquisite, and wonderful. But to be able to stand on that stage, these young artists must not only reach a world-class level—it is not just one person who needs to be precise, but the entire group,” said Hou Gang-Ben, a former director of National Taiwan College of Performing Arts.
“Their dance moves, combined with the animation on the backdrop, were very vividly portrayed, allowing me to immerse myself in the theatrical performance,” said Hou Chia-ling, the director-general of the Department of Youth Affairs, Taoyuan City Government.
“Taiwan and China have a close cultural integration, but it’s regrettable that people of the same ethnicity cannot enjoy the same freedom and democracy. The excellent traditional culture and the virtues presented could provide [Chinese people] with better inspiration,” said Chen Huang-Chia, the manager of a well-known automotive service center.
“[Shen Yun] brings the spirit of the culture we want to express to every corner. Such artistic performances reach all parts of the world. Even if people in China cannot see the performance, Chinese people overseas still can. I think this is the power of culture,” said Chang Wen-Ching, CEO of a green energy company.
Audience members described the performance as uplifting and refreshing. “In this bustling modern society, this performance offers us a sense of stability, allowing us to wash away the worries of daily life, dissolve anxieties, and bring joy and happiness,” said Mr. Huang.
“People should cultivate themselves toward truth, goodness, and beauty. Nowadays, our daily work keeps us so busy, but performances like this truly settle our minds. Immersing ourselves in the entire show for just these two short hours—I think it makes for a truly wonderful weekend evening,” said Huang Yu-Hua, a department manager of a technology company. “If more people could come to see the performance, it would surely bring greater stability to society as a whole.”
