“I loved the [interactiveness of] the screen. These characters come flying in and then pop up. It was brilliant,” said Mr. Rawls.
Animated, hi-tech backdrops are another feature of Shen Yun that “transport the audience to another world,” says the company.
Mr. Rawls said that Shen Yun’s performances were portraying messages of compassion.
“Recognising one’s history, and your place in the world to try to better your own life and lives of others and that’s the humanistic message … which is empowering,” said the actor.
Shen Yun Performing Arts, based in New York, tours the world on a mission to revive traditional Chinese culture. Shen Yun Performing Arts New York Company will be in Sydney, Australia through May 6.
