“And the colors are absolutely amazing,” said Bela Maranhas who is a consultant in the financial services industry. “I loved the movement, the colors of the costumes.”

“The different pastiches, the different pastels. All the accouterments [the performers] are using while they’re dancing were also impressive,” added Mr. Maranhas.

The most memorable experience for many audience members is the energy emanating from the stage.

“There’s a certain uplifting feeling,” said Mrs. Maranhas.

“There’s both spiritual energy, there’s mental energy, there’s physical energy. The [performance] is invigorating from that perspective,” said Mr. Maranhas. “I think it’s intellectually energizing because it brings the promise of optimism.”

“If you could conquer the prejudice and discrimination of the Chinese Communist Party and bring that [culture] back to the modern world within China, that’d be great. I think it’s a shame that any totalitarian regime has to destroy their past,” said Mr. Maranhas.

“And also, it emphasizes, for those who don’t know, the reality of what’s happening in China, where Falun Gong [is being persecuted], which is so sad,” said Mrs. Maranhas.

“I really liked that scene, because I don’t think many people realize what’s going on,” said Mr. Maranhas.

“It was excellent,” agreed Mrs. Maranhas.
