Shen Yun Performing Arts successfully closed the curtain on two sold-out performances in Füssen, Germany, on April 5. Audience members got a glimpse of ancient China and were captivated by the company’s artistry.

“I find what I heard and saw today incredibly moving. I also thought it was nice that the music served the dance and the performance. The music is incredibly touching, but it doesn't push itself into the foreground,” said Daniela Röthlingshöfer-Müller, a soprano singer.

Sandra Gareiß, a business owner, said: “I really enjoyed the performance. I have to say that I was so impressed by the lightness and the acrobatics.”

“I've never seen anything like it before, and also the choreography and synchronicity that can be seen here. I'm also incredibly inspired by the religious aspect behind it, which is conveyed through the story. I find it very impressive, and very beautiful,” said Marchetti Rossana, a business owner.

Shen Yun draws its inspiration from five millennia of traditional Chinese civilization. Ancient Chinese people believed their culture and values to be gifts from the divine. Audiences praised the effort to bring these values to life on stage.

Roman Reis, the managing director at Penzberg District, said, “When you lose your roots, you become disoriented, and then you notice how society crumbles.”

“It is shown that one must always act for the benefit of others and with respect for every person, regardless of where they come from or what they do,” Ms. Rossana said.

“It all comes together, from the music to the choreography to the beauty of the dances, this noble dancing, and above all, the cultural background. There's so much more to it than just a musical with a story. This isn't a story, it's the truth. This is the truth, the spirit, and it actually conveys everything we need right now,” said Sonja Kuhn, a financial adviser.

Shen Yun will perform in Paris, France, from April 16 through May 11.
