Raleigh Audience Hope That Shen Yun Will Bring Culture to China Again

Mitt Richards has some understanding of Chinese culture. As a former emergency medicine physician, he would have patients and now still has students whose parents only speak Chinese, so he is fluent in the language.
He said, he was in tears when seeing the traditional Chinese culture of 5,000 years brought to life on stage.

The presentation,
coupled with the music,
the timing was perfect, the music...
it stimulated the hearing.
The costumes,
the colors brought out the visual
and then the athleticism,
the movements that the grace
of the performers brought it all together
for a phenomenal, phenomenal show.
It was very heartwarming for me.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
And on some of the stories
that are told through dance,
I actually, I teared up.
I cried, [‘ku le’ in Chinese], I cried.
Richards saw Shen Yun Performing Arts for the second time at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium at Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts on Jan. 6, and described the intensity of the experience afterward.

The intensity of the emotions and the belief
that they had when they would dance,
and this dealt with their own views on relationships,
and love and expression of spirituality.
All those things came out for me.

This is a very thought-provoking
and emotion-provoking performance
that brings all of this, brings humanity out.

I think that’s sad when a country
does destroy its history.
And its art and all of the things
that really make us human.

According to its website, the company is in the midst of its 2019 world tour, which involves six groups traveling to over 100 cities across countries. The one country they won’t be performing in though is China, which is still controlled by the Communist Party.

And learning that people in China
can’t actually see a show like this
was kind of shocking to me.

And it’s so beautiful, I wish they could.

When sometimes…power takes over value.
When that happens,
it usually isn’t very good, but in time,
it can change.
The human spirit is very dominant
and will rise up and make good things happen.
