Shen Yun 2023

Didn’t Paramour claim this as well?

I don't want to be rude, but I believe both IronMan and TheatreMonkey clearly stated that the show is recruitment propaganda for the Fulan Gong, a Chinese Armageddon cult.

So, I'm sure people go on stage after the show to join the Fulan Gong, a Chinese Armageddon cult.

They just toured through my area a few weeks ago. They did a heavy promotion on local and cable stations since mid-December. They travel through about once every 18 months.

I know there's endless jokes about their marketing budget, but for real ... how? There's no way they're taking in so much they can spend so much, everywhere.

I read something about this somewhere (I think there's another thread on this board) - I believe it comes by way of the money the cult steals from its members, combined with having its members literally walk around the cities they're in putting posters up in any business or empty wall that will allow it.

And Broadway Flash continues to portray themselves as someone without reading comprehension skills.

Broadway Flash said: "Oh I didn’t know that about them. But you people do realize that broadway gives money to right wingers? I’m sure that never stopped you fromGoing into a Nederlander house."

Donating directly to an actual, literal cult is a little different than seeing a show in a theater owned by a Republican. (And yes, some people in fact did change their spending habits upon learning Jimmy Nederlander votes red.)

Everyone who sees Shen Yun is a victim of their bait-and-switch ad campaign. You yourself are a victim by thinking it will be a great show when it's actually a mass brainwashing event.

Maybe try educating yourself on the matter.

Because I can read.

All of this is news to me. I only knew their commercials were poorly translated into English and annoying.

Thanks for the head's up.

I am curious though to know more about how they recruit people after the show using plants. Do the dancers just wait around with a sign-up sheet as "random man in first row" makes a big show of getting on stage while everyone else is leaving and says "wowee I wanna dance too!" or something?

Broadway Flash said: "How exactly is dance and music brainwashing people? And they ask people to come on the stage at the end? That’s brainwashing?"

I mean, music and dance have a long history as a propaganda tool, remember the “Tomorrow Belongs To Me” scene in Cabaret? It’s based on something! Music and dance stir up emotions and then those emotions are directed to a desired outcome.

At the very least, one could leave the show thinking, “how could they be so bad, the show was so beautiful?”

Broadway Flash said: "Yeah, that's my question too, Listener. I'm curious about the presentation, and how they brainwash people. I thought it was just a dance show."

This thread prompted me to do a quick search on Google. I have included a couple links I found that may give you additional information:

The Right Wing Cult Behind Shen Yun


It does seem to be more than just a dance show, and is instead a propaganda machine. You can do your own research to decide if you want to check it out. I think I'll treat it the way I treat Chick-fil-a and not bother with it unless it's offered for free. I also won't judge you if you decide to check it out despite it being right wing propaganda. I guess most shows have a statement to make, and you might even be the right audience for it.
