COSTA MESA, Calif.—Costa Mesa City Councilmember Mike Buley said he was struck by the beauty and colors of Shen Yun after watching the performance with his wife on Saturday evening at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts.

“I’m just amazed at how beautiful it is,” he said, likening the costumes to a bouquet of flowers.

“My wife’s a florist, and she makes these beautiful, beautiful arrangements. And when I saw they had just beautiful dresses and they’re dancing, it just struck me as, like, the most beautiful bouquet that I’ve seen,” he said.

Shen Yun’s costumes are mostly inspired by the styles of China’s different dynasties, regions, and ethnic groups. Every piece is handmade in New York state and individually tailored, according to the company’s website.

Mr. Buley was impressed by the digital backdrop, which he said added to the joyful experience.

“I was really amazed by that. It’s so seamless. And when they, like, jump into the picture and disappear and then reappear, it’s just everything is beautifully integrated, and it’s just been a joy to be part of. Just like I was really surprised,” he said.

Mr. Buley added he was inspired by the spiritual aspect of the show.

“I think in every region of the world, there seems to be this divinely inspired belief that human beings are from a larger creator, and I can relate to that,” he said.

”You’re so inspiring and you feel so much joy and so much beauty,” he said of the performers.

Buley recommended the show and said he would be coming back next time Shen Yun is in town.

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” he said.
