SÃO PAULO, Brazil—Shen Yun Performing Arts gave a performance in São Paulo, Brazil, on May 4, transporting audiences to ancient China through story-based dances and live music. Theatergoers were deeply moved and shared their appreciation of the performance.

Isabela Tacaki, a journalist and influencer, said of Shen Yun. “Wonderful, impeccable, perfect.”

“I really liked their ability to perform their art in a sensational way. Sensational. I kept looking and saying: ‘Wow, I don’t think my leg has ever gone as high as that lady’s.’ Sensational, perfect,” Guto Zacarias, a state deputy with the legislative assembly of São Paulo, said.

“The orchestra, for me, I think it was what caught my attention the most. Impeccable, beautiful,” Fernando Sant’Ana, an entrepreneur, said.

“Everything was magnificent. All of it. The synchronization between the artists was something magnificent,” Abdo Antônio Hadade, a business owner, said.

Founded in New York in 2006, Shen Yun celebrated its 20 years anniversary this year. In the last two decades, Shen Yun has performed on 5 continents, in 11 countries, in over 200 cities and in front of over 11 million people. Theatergoers said they were deeply impressed by the performance.

Ms. Tacaki said, “I’m blown away. I thought it was incredible. Everything is very beautiful. The synchronization of the steps, the costumes, the story, Chinese art, which I had no idea about, I had never seen anything like it, any kind of Eastern art like that, live, with the orchestra accompanying all the dance. I found it sensational, especially the way it expressed the history of China, the persecution, and important political points there. I found it incredible. Everyone should see it once in their life.”

Jacqueline Zopia Hadade, a business owner, said, “A show like this, so complete, so lighthearted, and with such fascinating colors, is sure to fill you with joy.”

Ms. Tacaki said, “Congratulations! The artistic director is absolutely top-notch. There’s really nothing negative to say, the review is extremely positive, because he managed to surpass himself in every aspect: visually, musically. Everything is so impeccable, so moving. It’s a performance that fills your eyes and your ears. You can feel every sensation there. Truly, congratulations.”

State Deputy Zacarias said, “Sensational, a wonderful performance. The artists are incredibly well-rounded, whether singing or dancing. I thought it was a marvelous show, and I recommend that people come see it.”

Shen Yun has now concluded its 2026 Latin American tour. The company will return with a whole new show next year.
