    That cult puts on a ballet every year (or the years when there weren't pandemics) and literally nowhere is it advertised it's run by a weird cult. It's advertised as a celebration of "traditional Chinese culture" except the one my friend went to had moments where a screen had stuff projected on it like "Darwin was a liar" and "Atheism is a disease." One year they apparently had a little scene of presumably pre-revolution China represented by dancers in a meadow, then the sky slowly turns red and Karl Marx's face appears and all the dancers then run in fear. It's absolutely wild and they keep doing it every year with the same advertising slogans and absolutely no one around here has yet caught on that it's weird propaganda by a weird cult.

        All around the USA as far as I know. They have a website. Cruising around the website now and they actually do mention Falun Gong stuff in the FAQ in no less than reverent terms.
