SÃO PAULO, Brazil—Perfection is something that can be chased, but very rarely is it achieved. Shen Yun Performing Arts is concluding its season, and the last leg of the International Company’s journey is in South America.

“It’s incredibly beautiful, delicate, gentle, yet powerfully executed and bold. The spectacle convinces us that anything is possible,” said Ms. Leão.

She also wanted to extend her compliments to Shen Yun’s Artistic Director.

“The director is undoubtedly more than just enlightened; blessed. He’s focused, pursues his beliefs with vigor, and is committed to learning and growing,” said Ms. Leão.

“The way they dance, their muscular control, their expressions, every little detail is visible from my vantage point. I’m deeply impressed and delighted to have had the chance to see it. It’s an experience that will stay with me forever,” said Ms. Leão.

Shen Yun’s dancers are trained in classical Chinese dance, one of the most comprehensive dance systems in the world.

“The dancers are perfect. You can see it in their expressions, their limbs, their movements—they perform with passion,” praised Ms. Leão.

“The orchestra touches the soul, and the musicians simply don’t make mistakes! They don’t miss a single note in a [two] hour-long performance. It’s a profound harmony of soul, body, mind, and heart. The orchestra is simply fantastic, truly fantastic,” remarked Ms. Leão.

With dance and music, Shen Yun tells stories of past and present day China, including the crimes of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Because of this honest depiction, Shen Yun is unable to perform in China.

“They should be allowed to perform everywhere because life is for everyone, and freedom is essential to life. Everyone deserves happiness, and this show spreads happiness. You can see it in the audience—families, the young, and the elderly—all enjoying [Shen Yun],” expressed Ms. Leão.

Shen Yun exposes what can be considered the greatest crime of the 21st century—the forced organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners by the CCP.

“It’s regrettable. ... They forbid what is essential to every human being. Without freedom, one cannot claim to live life to the fullest. I am deeply saddened that such difficulties still exist in the world,” said Ms. Leão.

Shen Yun’s use of its digital backdrop is patented. With the backdrop, the stage is extended endlessly, and each scene can be switched without the use of traditional bulky stage props.

“Those visuals were impressive. The way the wind moves through the plants—all of it! You can’t grasp [so much beauty] with how fast the show goes. I'd love to linger on each image for at least five or 10 minutes to absorb and remember every detail! It’s all so gorgeous and magnificent,” said Ms. Leão.

Falun Gong teaches people to abide by Truth, Compassion, and Tolerance in their daily lives.

“Truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance. That was the message that stuck with me. Everything is perfection for them, and they seek it. So we really have to learn a lot from this kind of show,” said Ms. Yoshida, a federal judge and a professor of Environmental Law at PUC.

“I was impressed to know that there are eight companies touring the world,” said Ms. Yoshida.
