Shen Yun Performing Arts was met with a full house once again in Füssen, Germany, on April 6. Audience members were mesmerized by a glimpse into the rich traditions of ancient Chinese culture.

Alexander Wanke, a business owner, said, “What impressed me most were the beautiful clothes, colorful, and elegant.”

“I thought the performance was very nice. I love the bright colors and the beautiful costumes. I also thought the acrobatics and the dance performance from the artists were great,” said Doris Polkowski, the deputy head at a nursing school.

Bianca Andrzejewski, a theologian, said what touched her was “the beauty, the precision, the flowing movements, and the joy that radiates from the dancers.”

Shen Yun aims to revive 5,000 years of divinely inspired traditional Chinese culture from before communism, showcasing its beauty through classical Chinese dance, music, and storytelling. Audience members were deeply touched by Shen Yun’s mission and praised their efforts.

Stefan Andrzejewski said, “What touched me deeply and what I find very beautiful is to see that in a culture that is still rather foreign to us as Europeans, there are people who also have such a longing for the teaching of virtue.”

“I saw messages like courage, strength, energy, and love,” said Andrea Poschenrieder, a business owner. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for having so much courage and so much strength to convey this. And for doing this for other people, even though they can no longer go back to their homeland.”

“We should focus more on tradition because a lot of things repeat themselves. And we don’t have to keep making the same mistakes,” said Rickl Gabriele, a former theater makeup artist.

Shen Yun will perform in Bergen, Norway, on April 15 and 16.
