Full story:

San Francisco Bay Area psychotherapist Marvin Treiger saw Shen Yun Performing Arts at the SHN Orpheum Theatre on Thursday. He described how he found out about the show.

[Marvin Treiger PhD, Bodymind Institute, Los Angeles]:
"I was walking down the street, and I saw the magnificent poster for this show. I knew nothing about Shen Yun, and I said that was like the essence of beauty, was that the color and the movement and the grace and the elegance and I thought I, we have to see it—I have to see it—we have to see it and so we got tickets and are very, very happy and we're very surprised."

Shen Yun showcases 5000 years of traditional Chinese culture.

[Marvin Treiger PhD, Bodymind Institute, Los Angeles]:
"It was bringing forth the teachings of awakening, and in the most beautiful way and showed how it's been a part of China, for so, forever, and so I was extremely pleased and surprised. I never expected that, and so I feel like I fell into some kind of heaven. And everything about it is so universal, I thought it was well put together. So that was a real pleasure."

The performance had deep meaning for Mr. Treiger.

[Marvin Treiger PhD, Bodymind Institute, Los Angeles]:
"Well to me the culture, you know, there is a way that when one looks at, the moon, the awakened moon and the universals, but can find them in the beauty and the detail of life itself, in the color, in the grace, in the costume, in the movement, and all of the performers and the orchestra, these two things meet. They meet in the moment, and it was a great gift to be here and a great blessing."

Shen Yun has a universal appeal for audiences, whatever their background and culture.

[Marvin Treiger PhD, Bodymind Institute, Los Angeles]:
"I would love to get my friends, whatever their persuasion, whatever their religion, whatever--they're going to love this. They're going to love it for the folk, for the culture, for the movement."

Shen Yun's final performance in San Francisco is on March 24. The company's next stop on their tour of the US will be Seattle, opening March 28.
