Speaking to a reporter in the theater, Ms. Pruszyńska could not quite put it into words yet but described it as a profound feeling and something she would be looking into.

“There’s a big message to be learned, I think,” she said at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts on Feb. 24.

Traditional Chinese culture was believed by its people to be divinely inspired, a stark contrast to the culture of China today under communist rule.

“I felt like it really brought out freedom of the arts, freedom of speech, and freedom of dance,” she said.

“The artistic director did a fabulous job,” she said, praising the use of color, the choreography, stage design, and aesthetics. “It was artistic—so it meshed the arts, culture, and a message.”

Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, is a spiritual practice that teaches truth, compassion, and forbearance.

“That was very powerful,” Ms. Pruszyńska said.
