INDIANAPOLIS—“It’s phenomenal,” said Representative Woody Burton. The Indiana State Representative had just watched Shen Yun Performing Arts New York Company at the Clowes Memorial Hall of Butler University, on March 5. After the matinee he said, “It was fantastic—to see all the color, it was incredible. To see the culture of China like this, and the history, was fantastic!”
He was moved by the performance, The Opening of Heaven’s Gates that touches on the traditionally held Chinese belief of good being rewarded while evil is ultimately punished. “It was something to behold—it was just incredible.”
Rep. Burton elaborated, “You know, in this country we’re so fortunate to be able to do what we want, whatever we want, and then you see what China has gone through—the thousands of years of history, it’s just something to behold. It makes you really appreciate the world and all the different cultures.”
He was amazed by the colors and the hi-tech backdrops. “It was phenomenal. The backdrops—where they looked like they were coming out of the sky, and then they were on the stage, I’ve never seen anything like that. It looked like they were flying down, and all of a sudden there they were.”
Performances by leading solo vocalists are an integral part of Shen Yun, offering a glimpse into traditional Chinese thought and beliefs.
Rep. Burton was greatly impressed by the soloists’ performances The Song in My Heart and The Only Hope, and said, “They are very talented. I’ve never seen somebody sing in another language, and then have it above them where you can read what they’re saying. It actually makes it sink in when you’re reading the words.”
“We really enjoyed it. My brother, Congressman Dan Burton, invited me today. When he asked me, I said absolutely!”
His brother, Congressman Dan Burton, said, “I think the show is one of the best things I have ever seen.” He added that after seeing Shen Yun, he felt that everyone in America and the world should see it.
Rep. Woody Burton agreed and said, “It was really a great experience.”
