Shen Yun Performing Arts introduced a new world to the audience at the Oklahoma City Community College Visual and Performing Arts Center Theater in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on Feb. 22, sharing the beauty of “China before communism.”

“It’s eye opening to see what it was like before communism. And so that’s a very prominent takeaway from the show,” Jack Stipe, a lawyer, said.

“The artistry was incredible. They were very professional. And then the backdrop, too, was fun, when they would jump over that wall and then they go float up in the air. That was very clever, I'd never seen that before,” former entrepreneur Jim Barker said.

“It’s wonderful, very exciting. I’m very impressed with all the talent. And the colors in the background are beautiful,” lawyer Amy Stipe said.

“It’s pretty spectacular for these people to dance and move the way that they do. It’s quite amazing. I don’t know how they jump so high,” Clint Yates, a claim specialist, said.

“It’s very different from the Western entertainment, and I like the stories and some of the morality of the stories. It was very enlightening. I like it,” physician Eric Thompson said.

Shen Yun’s mission is to revive 5,000 years of divinely-inspired traditional Chinese culture. Audience members were deeply moved by this mission and its relevance for society today.

“I think it’s extremely important for us to embrace where we’ve come from, embrace our roots. There’s a lot of information, a lot of knowledge, a lot of wisdom in the traditions from whence we came, and I think it’s extremely important for us to continue to tap into those,” physician Jeff Neal said.

“They’re spiritual people and care for one another, and very respectful people. Those kinds of things came through the storylines,” lawyer Kimberly Brasher said.

“Thank you for everything that they have done to bring the performance, and the passion, the culture to us where we are and here in Oklahoma City,” Jill Farrand, who is a marketing director, said.

“Thank you all so very much for all the time you put into it. You guys have done a beautiful, beautiful performance, and I hope you have many blessings on your journey,” physician Ashley Cowan Neal said.

Shen Yun will be performing at the Smith Center for the Performing Arts in Las Vegas, Nevada, from Feb. 27 through March 2.
