“I love the backdrop,” Mr. Sinoski said. “It’s phenomenal, the way they cut it, in between the live and the screen—kind of breaking that wall and being able to tell a story with no words. The way that’s married with the dancing and the culture, I think that’s a perfect pairing. I’ve never seen something cut that way so fluidly.”
Mr. Sinoski felt that the cultural elements elevated the performance’s overall caliber, as it brought an additional layer of meaning to the entertainment.
“I think it has so much more meaning when it has that cultural side,” he said of live theater. “You’re seeing the story and the passion. Obviously, the dancing’s phenomenal, but when it’s tied with that cultural side, I feel it has that much more meaning to it, and it is that much more moving.”
“I love the way it tells the story, and [the way] it brings the unity,” he said. “Having come into it almost blind on that side, I felt it connected with me ... The big part [of] the connection there is really that we are so similar all together. And it should never be this idea of us versus them or whatever. We really are one people.
“And that whole message of unity, I think it’s much bigger than just this. And that’s personally why I found it so moving.”
