LONDON—Faisal Shaukat, who runs an events management company, attended Shen Yun Performing Arts at Eventim Apollo on the evening of April 20.
“And everybody knows that this show is banned in China for various reasons. I really salute the production team, and everyone who are behind it, who has this courage to just try and give this new generation, the actual feeling of how the culture was. It’s always good to stay connected with the roots and revive that,” he said.Shaukat said he liked the beautiful culture presented. “It’s beautiful. Shen Yun is like the beauty of the Divine, so it’s really beautiful. Obviously, you can’t describe the divine itself, but the way it’s being portrayed,” he said.
“I’m so amazed with the visuals that complement the whole performance. And it’s interesting that the visuals have some sort of virtual effect,” Shaukat said. “So you combine the real performances and they merge with the visual, which is something really interesting and very nice. It is very unique. It’s something like a cinematic experience; it’s very immersive cinema, you know, you become part of it.”
“Yes. I think no matter where you live, which part of the world you live in, or which religion you believe in, what is natural to you, and whomever you believe in, that’s divine power. There is a source for that. So it could be anything, it could be anyone, but when you have that, that’s where you get the peace from,” he said.
He had praise and gratitude for the performers. “Congratulations, because they’ve been traveling a lot, I know.”
“Congratulations, well done. I look forward to seeing the next performance either at the end of this year or the next year,” he said.
