Shen Yun performed at the Atlanta Symphony Hall from Jan. 11 to 14. Theatergoers said they were in awe of its artistry.
Robert Castro, editor and producer for CinePost, said “Oh my goodness it was marvelous. It was thousands of years in the making and it was an honor to be able to see such artistry presented gracefully and very professionally.”
“I’d say it had all the talent of any top level ballet like the Bolshoi [ballet] or New York [ballet] with additional Asian influence, movement, and culture,” said John Bojack, certified anesthetist.
Esteban Hesse, O&M Global commercial director at GE Power, said “Absolutely brilliant, I mean the synchronization between the dancers and the way they all keep together is really incredible. Really incredible.”
Using the medium of traditional Chinese dance and music, Shen Yun took Atlanta audience members on a journey filled with rich culture, venturing along on a deep dive into spirituality.
David Lester, co-founder of the popular soft drink company Olipop, praised Shen Yun’s performances as they showcased themes of spirituality.
“I think we’ve lost a lot of spiritual institutions in the West and I think everybody craves that kind of connectivity, to something bigger than ourselves. So it’s really interesting to explore more ancient cultures and their form of spirituality … I think [a] very spiritual and emotional journey as well. You really do go on a very thoughtful journey as you’re watching the show,” he said.
Brannon McKay, founding partner of Clayton, McKay, & Bailey, PC law firm, said “I could feel the emotion of what was going on, and it went very well with the dancing. And so I felt like the music was a huge part of the show and part of what made the show really great.”
From ancient legends to myth—Shen Yun gives audience members a glimpse of the past through classical Chinese dance and music.
“We are inspired by that. We all look for the divine as human beings, we need the divine, because it lifts us above the standard that we live in this world,” said Wyly Gammon, missionary and regional director of Go To Nations.
Latryce Golliday, visual artist and founder of Crowns Of Love, said “I felt free. The dancers were very graceful and they had a very ethereal feel to them and something about them just had me enchanted and I felt liberated.”
Shen Yun will perform in over 200 cities this year.
