Shen Yun Gives a ‘Sensation of Joy,’ Says Hospital Department Director

FLORENCE, Italy—Jacopo Nori, doctor and director of the breast cancer unit at Careggi University Hospital, knows how uplifting beauty can be, as the halls of his unit are lined with beautiful photos of Florence precisely to help uplift patients.

On April 10, he felt uplifted by the power of beauty himself, attending the matinee performance of Shen Yun Performing Arts at Teatro Verdi.

“[I felt] a sensation of joy, made me feel good,” he said. “Extraordinary, original, moving, a very good experience—I am enjoying it very much.”

New York-based Shen Yun is the world’s premier classical Chinese dance company, with a mission to revive 5,000 years of China’s divinely inspired culture. Since communism took power in 1949, the regime has sought to destroy this traditional culture. As such, Shen Yun is not able to perform in China today.

Mr. Nori said the idea that culture was a gift from the heavens was prevalent in the production, and found it “very original.”

“I hope it spreads so much more, by talking about it we can make it much more known,” he said.

“I understand that this culture is very damaged from the current situation; bringing it back is something miraculous.”

“Their work is very valid and they have to convey this culture to future generations.”

“The show is unique, unforgettable,” he said. “Absolutely come and see it.”
