Shen Yun an 'Antidote' to Pandemic

The seemingly never-ending pandemic can bring one's spirits down. But Shen Yun’s audience members say the classical Chinese dance performance brings some much-needed relief. “I think the show is a good antidote to the pandemic,” said Philio Lancaster, who owns a real estate management company. “It’s so beautiful and so uplifting," said Dan Hare, a retired documentary film director. "It’s kind of a holistic feeling to it. I was so impressed. You’re floating on air when you leave.” “I am so glad we came here to watch that because, for those two hours, we actually forgot that we're in the pandemic," said Cherie Jaynes, who works at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. “And I actually forgot I was wearing a mask because it was so delightful.” “The show exudes an energy through the music, but also through the skills on stage, which I think helps us fight the virus,” said Bernard Monnot, who saw Shen Yun in Paris, France. “I feel a difference, I have more energy now. I have more energy, and my heart is more full of joy,” he added.
