BALTIMORE—Michelle Washington attended Shen Yun Performing Arts at The Hippodrome Theatre on March 15 and saw a spiritual China far from the contemporary state most are familiar with.
“And so I think it would be a beautiful thing to see these things to be reborn all over the world.”
In Shen Yun, Ms. Washington saw recurring themes of what unites humanity—the uniting effect including a new friendship made after the performance—and felt it an important message.
“It’s very important. I was just talking to my new friend, and I think that the things that separate us are temporary. But the things that unite us just as humanity, the things that make us laugh, the things that make us cry are common demands. And I think that’s an important message,” Ms. Washington said.
“I think that this idea that humans were born in heaven, that again, that the things that unite us are heavenly and spiritual and things that divide us I think are temporary,” she added.
“It’s creative, it was beautiful,” she said. “Even though this was Chinese, as an American ... I felt it deeply as well.”
