STAMFORD, Conn.—Kiran Shankar, the president of RD Go Creative, attended Shen Yun’s evening performance at The Palace Theatre on April 27. He felt a deep connection with the experience.
“The show was entertaining and engaging! It was spectacular in terms of the costumes, the pictures—the whole thing. It’s just very well put together,” he said.
Referring to the artists’ commitment to bringing back traditional culture, Mr. Shankar said, “It’s a noble mission.”
“Communism is submerging all of the rich history and culture of [China]—that is unfortunate. I think it’s good education for the new generation and for people like me who’s never been to China,” he expressed.
“The performers—hats off to them—they were exceptional! It was more than acrobatics, more than gymnastics—it was classical dance. I’m sure a lot of hard work has gone into the performance. It was an evening very well spent.”According to Shen Yun’s website, the classical Chinese dance we see in China today is heavily mixed with military and modern dance styles.
“It inspires you—Shen Yun inspires you with this common language of the performing arts. [The more] we are all the same, the more different we look. In this world today where everything is polarized, I think it’s a must-needed message,” Mr. Shankar said.Reporting by Sally Lin and Jennifer Tseng.
