BUENOS AIRES, Argentina—Members of the audience in Buenos Aires expressed being deeply moved by Shen Yun Performing Arts as the New York-based company presented its all-new 2026 program showcasing “China before communism” in the city.
‘A Gentle Touch to the Soul’
“It feels very special. It takes me to a different level beyond the earthly—to an ethereal level,” Ms. Ambrosio said, speaking through tears.Mr. Madeo added, “It feels like a gentle touch to the soul.”
He noted that the performance for him carried a deeper reminder.
“This reminds you that you should always stay connected with life. Because this show is life. And honestly, you forget that these beautiful things exist,” he said.
The couple also resonated with the spiritual dimension presented in the performance.
‘What You Give Comes Back’
Ms. Ambrosio said that the scene illustrating the idea of karma moved her the most.“For me, the dance story ‘You Reap What You Sow’ stands out,” she said. “For example, when a person asks for food, and some people kick him, and others give him something; later, what they give comes back to them. It feels like cruelty comes back in a negative way. And when you give something, something beautiful comes back.”
Reflection on Values
The couple both said they see the importance of traditional values in today’s world. Mr. Madeo noted that these values closely align with their Catholic beliefs.Ms. Ambrosio added, “Values matter—kindness, generosity.”
Praise for the Artists
Ms. Ambrosio also praised the performers’ artistry.“The artistic quality of everyone on stage is incredible. At times, they float. At times, they fly. Fantastic! Honestly, it really was a wonderful experience; I highly recommend it.”
“To the artists, honestly, they give us a life lesson to break the everyday routine. Because you let yourself go with this inertia, and sometimes you forget these values. I send my warmest regards to you all, and thank each and every one of the members.”
