TORONTO—Canada is a place where people of all backgrounds have chosen to live and build a future. Shen Yun Performing Arts is making true Chinese culture available to all audience members of all backgrounds.

“I like it very much. Thank you. It’s very colorful. It’s showing a different kind of culture, different scenarios from the ancient times. Very nice actually,” said Bela Kutasi, a construction contractor.

Shen Yun is based in New York, and its mission is to revive 5,000 years of Chinese civilization. Through storytelling, Shen Yun recreates many of the significant moments in Chinese culture.

“This story showed the people the good and the bad and how it’s always the good getting rewarded in the end. Everything is healed and returned to normal, and the people are happy. Love is always winning throughout the bad,” Mr. Kutasi said.

Mr. Kutasi came from a country of oppression, and he shared his understanding of what the people of China are experiencing.

“I came from Hungary, so we had communism over there as well. I know how it is hard to live through it. I was part of it when I was a child, and it wasn’t really so pleasant. So everybody tried to escape from it, tried to get out their own truth and get away from the bad,” he said.

One of Shen Yun’s dances portrayed the oppression of Falun Gong practitioners in China. The Chinese Communist Party tells its people that the Party is above all.

“Exactly. They don’t let people be themselves. They want everybody to play a purpose,” Mr. Kutasi said.

Shen Yun’s artists are trained in classical Chinese dance, one of the most comprehensive dance systems in the world.

“The artists, they are phenomenal. The dancing is amazing. It’s very colorful, so many movements, so intense, everything. I’m really enjoying it. I came here with my wife and my daughter. They are inside still and they love it very much as well,” Mr. Kutasi said.
