AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France—Shen Yun Performing Arts graced the stage in Aix-en-Provence, France, on April 15, taking audiences on a journey through ancient China.

“Wonderful. This is actually our second time,” Gérard Dura, a former business owner, said. “We came last year too and of course, we wouldn’t miss this show. It’s amazing, everything is amazing. The costumes are incredible and the dancers too.”

“I’m truly amazed. It’s beautiful, really beautiful. It’s so refined, both the men and the women, everything is very elegant and delicate,” Christophe Jarrige, an engineer, said.

“It is extremely well staged. Every time someone appears, they are perfectly in position, perfectly in sync, and throughout the whole show, the dancers, you can really see that they are true professionals. Everything is flawless,” André Janssoone, a former DHL sales director, said.

Shen Yun is the world’s premier classical Chinese dance company, with each performance accompanied by a live orchestra and patented digital backdrop.

Mr. Jarrige said, “I read the brochure and it says this is a patented system, entirely their own creation. But I think it is done to absolute perfection and timed to the millimeter. Really, when the image moves, the dancer, especially the male dancers, immediately steps onto the stage, and I find that incredible. I am truly impressed by this aspect of the show.”

Mr. Dura said, “The digital screen also creates absolutely stunning effects. There’s never a dull moment. You’re completely captivated, watching it all and reflecting on what it represents.”

Mr. Janssoone said, “The most important thing is to see it in person. There are so many TV clips that only show a small part of what you’ll experience here, or in the other theaters. It really must be seen live. There’s nothing about the show you could fault.”
