  • I'm David Marchese and I'm Lulu Garcia Navarro and we're the hosts of the interview from the New York Times.

  • David and I have spent our careers interviewing some of the most interesting and influential people in the world.

  • Which means we know when to ask tough questions and when to just sit back and listen.

  • And now we've teamed up to have these conversations every week.

  • We'll try to reveal something about the people shaping our world.

  • And we'll get some great stories from them too.

  • It's the interview from the New York Times.

  • Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

  • From the New York Times, I'm Rachel Abrams.

  • This is The Daily.

  • A few days ago, one of the most ubiquitous live shows in the country,

  • Shen Yun, began its latest run at arguably its most prestigious venue, Lincoln Center.

  • It's drawn thousands of people to a performance that is colorful,

  • acrobatic, and, according to many of its performers, shockingly abusive.

  • Today, my colleague Nicole Hong on what a Times investigation has found about the secretive and sprawling enterprise.

  • It's Wednesday, April 2nd.

  • Nicole, I have seen billboards for Shen Yun literally all over New York City.

  • They are pastel colored.

  • They show people dancing.

  • They're wearing this sort of long, flowy, diaphanous clothing.
