On Jan. 25, Shen Yun Performing Arts arrived in France’s historic wine capital of Bordeaux, captivating over 3,800 audience members during the night’s sold-out performance. Audiences expressed their amazement at Shen Yun’s artistry and praised the show’s powerful message of humanity.

Guillaume de Champeaux, a frozen product supply manager, said: “The show is absolutely exceptional. The sets are splendid. I also really love the philosophy behind your show; I find it very interesting, and I truly love it. The show is beautiful and very very original, extremely dynamic. A beautiful, beautiful show. I really recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it yet. It's sumptuous.”

Olivier Flament, a sales executive, said: “Magnificent. Very poetic. Very spectacular. Very athletic. A truly, truly beautiful show.”

Yolaine Lefèvre, a sports communication and development officer, said: “I find it extraordinary. I am truly amazed. Being in the world of sports myself, seeing these athletes—these dancers perform—is incredible. Their ease in movement and fluidity is absolutely extraordinary. It's a very, very, very high level.”

Khemal Aittahar, a business owner, said: “It's a very high level, very very high level. It's really magnificent. It's quite light and quite complete at the same time. It's true that these artists are of an extremely high level, and it's quite astonishing viewed by theatrical criteria.”

“The dancers' dynamism is phenomenal and they’re extremely supple. It's very, very beautiful. It's superb. I have no words to describe it, it's superb!” said Guillaume de Champeaux.

“It's very sweet. It's very poetic and at the same time it's full of energy. So it's a good mix of both,” said Olivier Flament.

“You really feel a connection between heaven and earth,” said Khemal Aittahar.

“It's a very, very strong feeling, very strong! We're connected to the beyond, and all these images, these transfers between video images that transport us, and nature isn't far away, heaven is never far away, and that's very inspiring. It's very inspiring,” said Ms. Lefèvre.

“It's about peace, it's about the fight against communism, and so it's about kindness. It’s only positivity, only goodness. It was excellent,” said Mr. Flament.

“I feel it’s a sad message how the world today is forgetting God, and I think the show is a sign of hope and expectation. I find it beautiful, truly beautiful!” said Guillaume de Champeaux.

“There’s a lot of sweetness; and something we need today is this connection to the Divine, to the beyond, to all that's beyond us. We need this freshness, this desire to grow, to reach upwards. And it's very inspiring, really very very beautiful. We're in harmony,” said Ms. Lefèvre.

Audiences unanimously praised Shen Yun’s powerful message of humanity, describing it as both inspiring and uplifting.

“That's exactly how my wife and I felt. It's a kindness. It's something we're not used to feeling these days, so it feels really good,” said Khemal Aittahar.

“You feel the kindness and then you feel, you feel the humanity, which is linked to the divine, – this humanity. So you feel that the show’s full of compassion, of the good side of man,” said Olivier Flament.

“I think it brings a lot of peace. It brings peace, calm, meditation, the desire to be even better and to seek out the best in humanity,” said Ms. Lefèvre.
