CHICAGO—In ancient China, the healing power of music was widely known. Lin Taser, an amateur composer, could feel the energy and compassion behind each note played by Shen Yun Performing Arts’ orchestra.
“Each note carries compassion,” Ms. Taser said.
Every audience member experiences Shen Yun differently. Ms. Taser felt that Shen Yun was healing the souls of the audience.
“I’m in the very front seats and I feel like this is not only a show, but this is also healing your soul, healing your spirit. I even felt there is magic in this show,” she said.
“I love this show because there’s so much feelings in it and I like the idea of freedom and the beauty of the humanity before communism,” she said.
Shen Yun is sharing the beauty of Chinese culture with the world, but it is not able to perform in China.
“I think by choosing communism, by enforcing communism, they’re trying to stop humanity [from] finding [its] core,” Ms. Taser said.
“I believe that the music and meditation will help us to find the core of us, what we are. And this show is explaining it to us that we are spirits having a human experience. And we are not bounded by this earth, but we are all one,” she said.
Shen Yun’s artists are trained in classical Chinese dance, one of the most comprehensive dance systems in the world.
“We are touched by [their] feelings because I see everybody on that stage is feeling something. And I see it on their face and in their behaviors, and it’s like they’re flying. They don’t look human. They look like angels to me,” Ms. Taser said.
“It touches your heart. My mom was in tears when she is watching how communism [persecutes] the Dafa,” she said. “So, we were all very affected by this.”
