LIMOGES, France—Shen Yun Performing Arts concluded four days of performances at the Zénith of Limoges on March 14. Patrons praised the splendor and beauty presented by the world's premiere classical Chinese Dance company.

“The show was really impressive. A very beautiful performance with lots of acrobatics. And I have to say, the costumes were truly magnificent,” Jean-Louis Giry, a business owner, said.

“I’m amazed by the beauty of the costumes and the skills of the dancers. It’s truly a very, very, beautiful show,” Géraldine Leymarie, the deputy general manager of Adapei Corrèze, shared.

“I have to take my hat off because that’s a lot, a lot of work,” Michel Nawrocki, president of the French National Association of Reserve non-commissioned officers, said. “The technique is amazing. And the ensembles, it's like there’s just one person being reflected in multiple mirrors.”

“I loved it. What I liked best was the orchestra, the orchestra was incredible. The dancers, of course, are driven by their passion, and the orchestra was really interacting with them, and the dancers were interacting with the orchestra too. But everything was in perfect symbiosis—that’s really what I loved. It’s truly the alchemy of the show, the dance, the dancers, and the orchestra together,” Peyo Glo, a production manager, said.

“The entire stage ensemble, the virtual part, is magnificent, and the connection it creates with the real world, with the dancers, with their expressions, I find that truly amazing and fantastically beautiful,” Mr. Nawrocki added.

Shen Yun’s mission is to revive 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture from “China before communism.” This mission deeply resonated with French theatergoers, who found it to be a source of moral inspiration.

“I share this message of universal kindness for the entire world, despite the current conflicts. I truly hope we can take inspiration from Shen Yun to spread positive energy across the globe,” Mr. Glo said.

Mr. Nawrocki agreed. “People should come see it and take inspiration from it. It would help calm things down for a lot of people. Maybe they would be more reasonable, less violent.”

“I invite people to truly come. It’s a moment of calm, a connection with both the heavenly and earthly worlds, and above all, a true connection with ourselves and the universal kindness that surrounds us,” Mr. Glo said.

Shen Yun will perform in Lyon, France, renowned for its cuisine, historic streets, and vibrant culture from April 6–12.
