ADELAIDE, Australia—Theatregoers said they were moved upon seeing Shen Yun Performing Arts’ portrayal of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong in China. In the audience was Erin Thompson, an elected official who described the story depicted as “very emotional.”
Thompson was recently elected as the Member of Parliament for the seat of Davenport in South Australia. She is formerly the mayor of the City of Onkaparinga, located on the southern fringe of Adelaide.
“It’s been an absolutely incredible experience so far, I’m here with my work colleague and our two daughters, and they’re absolutely loving it,” Ms. Thompson said during the intermission at the Adelaide Festival Centre on May 13. “It’s quite overwhelming and emotional, and it’s just an absolutely beautiful performance.”
