GUADALAJARA, Mexico—Alfonso Jiménez and Luzma Serpa González enjoyed Shen Yun Performing Arts when they attended the Santander Performing Arts Ensemble in Plácido Domingo Hall on May 9.
Ms. Serpa González said, “I thought it was fabulous, incredible. The coordination of the performers, the dancing, the costumes, the set design. Everything was beautiful, and the orchestra was sensational.”
She especially liked “You Reap What You Sow,” a fairy tale in which an elderly couple helps a young boy.
“The one with the child asking for help, asking for food, and no one helped him except the elderly couple. That one really touched me,” she said.
Shen Yun features a live orchestra with both Eastern and Western instruments that play together.
Ms. Serpa González said, “The music—incredible. Something that really caught my attention is that the musicians are all young people.”
She said Shen Yun is “fabulous because it introduces us to the [Chinese] world—even if we don’t know much about the history—in a very enjoyable way.”
Mrs. Serpa González gave her best wishes to everyone at Shen Yun. “I congratulate and admire them, and I think the way they live their lives is wonderful. It’s truly incredible how they share their country’s history and art with the world, above all.”
Mr. Jiménez said, “Wonderful coordination, and they also set a great example for young people all over the world, wherever they perform. I congratulate them. Their event was wonderful.”
