I went with Bonnie to see the Shen Yun ballet performance at Nokia. We both enjoyed the dancing, and the costumes were lovely.
However throughout the show there were various political and religious references to Falun Gong and their persecution in China. The last two numbers were full-on proselytizing for Falun Gong (they say Falun Dafa). I half expected the ushers to be passing out tracts.
The Shen Yun group is based in New York and I’m assuming they are part of the Falun Gong organization there, not a troop from China at all.
