“I thought it was absolutely stunning. The color coordination … the performance, the music, everything was excellent. Very lovely. I really enjoyed it,” he said.

“I’ve always admired ancient Chinese history, personally. And I think in the light of present-day events, … it’s very important to reclaim some of that, as much as possible,” said Mr. Kapusi.

Communism “has always been a basically debunked and a pure evil type of regime. … In today’s world, we need to continue to strive against that,” Mr. Kapusi said.

“If people don’t know beauty, it’s like being born in captivity. You don’t know what’s on the outside of the cage. But if you’re born free, you’re not going want to go back into a cage.”

Mr. Kapusi pointed out that “it’s always easier to destroy something than to build it up. But when you put something together, such as this performance … that strives for perfection, I think that’s far more valuable.”

“We all strive towards the understanding of God,” he added. “I think that plays a big role in it,” he said of the performance. “The energy there is … humanity reaching out to God’s perfection.”

“I really commend those people that bring that kind of creativity to the forefront and [are] able to actually provide something that visually comes across in such a wonderful message,” said Mr. Kapusi.

“The performance really brought across that sense of grandeur. … I would say even the spiritual implications of it definitely connect with that human aspiration for life, joy, pursuit of happiness, and just freedom to enjoy life how we want it.”
