Shen Yun | no neutrality

Last night I dragged a beloved long time friend to the Shen Yun performance at Lincoln Center in NYC. Even if it was one of the coldest and blustery nights this winter we were determined to have a blast. Which we did - contrary to how the evening unfolded.

I was fueled by memories of the Chinese acrobatic circus performances that would come to our little backwater island town. Regaling us with fireworks, Shaolin martial arts, agile performers, and exotic dancers garbed in diaphanous silk ensembles.

We would sit for a few hours mesmerized by escalating feats of balance.
