ESCONDIDO, Calif.—This year’s Shen Yun performance at the Escondido Center for the Performing Arts is bringing tears to the eyes of attendees and epiphanies to their minds.
“What they’re doing is something I never could do,” he said after watching the performance Saturday afternoon. “So it’s really impressive.”
“It’s impressive what they’re doing and, like I said, everything about this has just been breathtaking in a sense.”
His wife, Suzanne, works as a special education teacher. She was brought to tears by the first dances of the performance.
“The dancing and the color is just absolutely beautiful,” she said. “And I’ve just been really enthralled. It’s actually making me think.”
She appreciated the divine aspect of the culture and had an interest in learning more about China than she had prior to attending the performance.
“It’s really enlightening that the culture believes that we’ve all come from a divine being. I don’t know if I necessarily agree with it but I do agree that there is something bigger out there for us to believe in.”
