Shen Yun Performing Arts took audiences in Guadalajara, Mexico, on a journey through ancient China on May 6. The New York-based arts group is the world’s premier classical Chinese dance company, with a mission to revive 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture from before communism.

“It's honestly one of the best shows I've ever seen, and I think it's highly recommended,” said Carlos Zuro, an accountant. “The music, the performers, the choreography, everything was perfectly coordinated. It was wonderful from the moment we arrived here.”

“You can see the reflection of what they want to express, God's creation through the arts, and in this case, through culture. It's a mix of emotions that I personally experienced. I'm very happy,” said Cinthia Franco, a business owner.

“I also really liked the soprano who sang. It was very moving. It's a really beautiful journey. I liked it, I liked it very much,” said Carlos Enrique Salinas, a former lawyer.

Finding its roots in the divine, traditional Chinese culture and values come to life in Shen Yun’s performances through classical Chinese dance, music, and storytelling. Theatergoers expressed their appreciation for Shen Yun’s efforts and appreciated the values brought to life on stage.

“To return to your cultures again, the original culture one had, which made you a kinder person and more tolerant of others. That's what I take away, and I hope they return to it,” said Brenda Marisela Hernandez Vazquez, a real estate broker.

“It tells me that we definitely have to seek values, we have to seek spirituality, and we have to walk through this world wanting to make a better world and definitively transmit this to our generations,” said Zuro.

“It’s very important, because the truth is that it was one of the first cultures and we have to revive it again,” said Martha Patricia Velazquez Salim, a company director.

“In addition to the artistic aspect, the aspect that seeks to recapture the spiritual is important, and I'll take that away with me,” saidOscar Jimenez Lizarraga, a business owner “It's an experience of great peace and tranquility. You leave happy.”

Shen Yun successfully concluded their 2025 world tour on May 11 and will bring an all new program for audiences to enjoy next season.
