SYDNEY, Australia—Peter Kim, a doctor and former deputy mayor of the City of Ryde, felt he had travelled to the wonderland after attending Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Capitol Theatre in Sydney on March 10.
“It’s so divine. I saw angels dancing in front of my eyes, and that was just an amazing experience,” he said.
“It’s a combination of mystical and magical [factors], and just absolutely fantastic.”
“It was the most beautiful display of colour I’ve ever seen,” he said.
“And it was [as if] I was sitting there watching an aurora and the North Star, and it was absolutely beautiful.”
He also took note of other important messages that he thought Shen Yun gave to society.
A Breathtaking and Mesmerising Performance
Shelley Larner, a councillor in Sydney, was so mesmerised by what she saw during the matinee performance.The councillor was also amazed by Shen Yun’s interactive backdrops, a patented invention that acted like magical windows extending and transforming the stage.
“The backdrop was beautiful, and I love how it interacted and how the dancers jumped away, and then they come back on screen,” she said.
“It was beautiful. Very clever.”
“I thought that was acrobatics. So it’s nice to learn that that was traditional Chinese dancing,” she said.
The councillor also praised Shen Yun dancers, noting that they must work very hard to be so professional and make their performance look effortless.
