GOLD COAST, Australia—Gabriël Moens, an emeritus professor of law at the University of Queensland and Member of the Order of Australia (AM), one of Australia’s highest honours, said he admired the skills, abilities, and enthusiasm of the performers in Shen Yun Performing Arts.
“The performance was absolutely dazzling,” Professor Moens said after watching Shen Yun perform at the Home of the Arts (HOTA) on the Gold Coast on May 8.
“It [influenced] me emotionally and physically because it lifts your spirits, it revitalises you.”
Through a series of story-based vignettes, the New York-based company showcases stories of courage and sacrifice, integrity and loyalty, compassion and virtue, from ancient China through to modern times. Alongside Shen Yun’s virtuoso performances, these vignettes are accompanied by Shen Yun’s original orchestral arrangements that blend Eastern and Western instruments, all cast against Shen Yun’s state-of-the-art animated backdrops.
