Shen Yun Performing Arts graced the stage for a sold-out performance in Mississauga, Canada, on March 22. Through live music and choreography, Shen Yun presents stories and legends from 5,000 years of Chinese civilization. Some theatergoers said they were moved to tears by the performance.

“When the music started, and the beautiful dancing in the costumes, it triggered something within me. And I just remembered, I remember being there sort of thing. I started crying, actually. So it was a very profound experience for me,” said Michelle Morin, a translator.

“I thought it was very touching, and I think it can really uplift people. The whole thing is very uplifting. It’s not just beautiful, it’s uplifting. And I think people are touched,” she said.

“I came back three times, because of all of the different lines that were used and all of the different choreography and all of the different colors. And it’s quite phenomenal, and it’s nice to see,” said Bob Land, a former choreographer.

“It’s so professional. The orchestra is an absolute plus to tell the story,” said Carol Browning, a former corporate trainer.

Shen Yun tours the world with eight companies simultaneously. Each season, Shen Yun performers bring an all-new program with original dance, music, and stories. One unique feature of Shen Yun is its digital backdrop.

“The digital background is just mind-blowing. I thought it was really interesting how they can just jump off the back of the stage and then they’re on the actual 3D screen. It’s incredible what they can do,” said Amanda Aylett, a senior porting specialist.

“I really appreciate the live music, that it’s a full orchestra. The dancing is beautiful. I’ve never seen dancing like that, and that’s one of the reasons I wanted to come to this, is to really experience the culture,” she said.

“I wish the best to Shen Yun to bring the message across all around the world. It opens up the minds and hearts and eyes,” said Julius Gubco, a business owner.
Shen Yun will be performing in Kitchener, Canada, on March 27.
