Audience Shen Yun a Message for Humanity

With the division and chaos in today's world, many may feel hopelessness or despair—but some have found peace and hope in an unexpected place. "I’m half Ukrainian … so right now, I'm very worried about Ukraine, but this gives me hope," said Terry Zakanycz, who saw the performance in Las Vegas in February. Shen Yun Performing Arts has been touring all over the world for over a decade. No matter in what situation or wherever the company goes, audience members have described the performances as the spark in the dark. "Very emotional, very spiritual. And you come away from it with a very wonderful feeling, a lot about the hope of the future," said John Wilkins, who saw Shen Yun in Greeley, Colorado, in January. "It made me feel that there is hope and that we’re back to some semblance that we are being normal again—and hope. Absolutely hope," said Kaybe Youngren, who saw the performance in Las Vegas with her husband. "There’s so much about this show that leaves you with such a great feeling. You feel like all the worries have left you," said Angelo Segretto, who saw the performance in San Jose.
