Shen Yun Performing Arts graced the stage in Füssen, Germany, on April 3, taking audiences on a journey through ancient China. Audience members said they were amazed and captivated by the beauty and its artistry.

“I found it excellent, very beautiful, colorful, and varied. It had some beautiful, athletic elements. Very athletic, and also high jumps, which you don’t usually see in a regular ballet. Something I find really beautiful here,” said Andreas Aubele, a department head of the city of Füssen. “To be captivated and enchanted by the beautiful music and the wonderful costumes.”

“It was truly fantastic, it was a wonderful evening. And the artists were really great. They are really great. A huge compliment to everyone,” said Axel Podbielski, a doctor.

Shen Yun’s mission is to revive China’s 5,000-year-old heritage and traditional values from before the communist era. Audience members praised the company’s efforts, saying these values are still essential in today’s world.

“I’m absolutely in favor of reflecting [tradition] and constantly reminding people of it. I believe everyone lives by tradition, because it’s the foundation of everything,” said Martin Maurer, a company account manager.

“We want to preserve culture, and not let it disappear or be driven away by politics. I think that’s also what we and the [artists] over there share, that culture must be preserved,” said Aubele.

“It’s so fantastic. And there is always in the world something spiritual, and there is a soul in something, even if you can hardly believe it today. But there is a hope that we still have it, and we have it in the show” said Goran Sjostedt, a former business owner.

Shen Yun will perform in Amnéville, France, from April 9 to 13.
