LONDON—On March 9, 2013, Mr. and Mrs. Cheng from Shandong, China saw Shen Yun at London’s Barbican Theatre.
The couple said that the performance was extremely captivating, and that they heard gasps all around them as the curtains rose.
“My first impression was that these dance actors were technically phenomenal and that they had trained very hard,” said Mrs. Cheng. They said that they had never watched such a beautiful show before, and that classical Chinese dance was very unique.
The couple expressed amazement at the dance performers, who, despite having grown up overseas, were able to bring historical characters to life and convey the traditional essence of Chinese culture. “We were able to sense reverence to the divine in traditional Chinese culture, expressed in the show.”
