ORANGE PARK, Fla.—“It was wonderful!” Mark Mato, an instructional systems designer, said after experiencing Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Thrasher-Horn Center at St. Johns River State College on April 8.
“It really was. The execution and skill both in timing and in grace are both excellent,” he said.
Mr. Mato was impressed by Shen Yun’s patented animated backdrop, which allows performers to move between the stage and the background, taking its storytelling to a whole new level. He also praised the performers’ professionalism and the effortlessness of their movements.
“The professionalism of the dancers and their timing, you can see what they’re doing is extremely difficult. And to hold those in such a perfect balance for an extended period of time is very difficult. It was incredible to see them do it and make it look effortless!”
“I liked the fact that you can see the balance between good and evil, and how evil is trying to work to destroy everything; he good is doing and the renewal of that in the end. I liked that very much. It was very good.”He also said, “I think that the balance and harmony of nature which was original [to the way humans live] should be brought to life. I think that’s extraordinarily important.
“I think what’s happening now is that we are seeing a certain branding of Chinese people and it does not speak for everyone. I think it’s very important to have that renewal, definitively … I think it gives hope.”
