“I really liked the fog. As soon as the curtains opened up and the fog just kind of poured out, it was like they’re in the clouds, it was like they were in Heaven,” said Michael Daniel, a documentary filmmaker. “The whole production was really well done. I love the lighting, I love the energy, just everything about the show.”
“They were vibrant. And I remember reading in the brochure that it mentioned that it was the colors of Heaven and what people would wear in Heaven, and it felt very heavenly, very ethereal,” said Emily McLaughry, a photographer. “We loved every time they jumped into the background and went into the 3D backdrop. It was really special.”
“If you listen carefully to the music and the movement and you watch the movements, I think you can get a sense of the Chinese spirit, traditional spirit,” said David Opris, a business owner.
Ellysse Opris, a business owner, said, “I think that through the story, you can definitely see that the communists are definitely persecuting the religious. And so, I think that the message is to, in a way, fight back and do something about it, because there will be a result from that.”
“It’s really important to keep that ancient Chinese culture and tradition alive through art and through dance. If it wasn’t being practiced or observed by us, it could be lost forever,” said Mr. Daniel.
“It entices your eyes and your ears to really pay attention, and it’s outstanding. You don’t see many things that do that at the same time,” said Kirk Bechtold, a former environmental health & safety manager.
