PARIS—Like many businessmen, Luc Hubelé came from Vendée to Paris for his work, but he did not miss, on Thursday, Feb. 16, the limited time Shen Yun Performing Arts was in Paris as well.

“I found this show fabulous! I was very moved by a lot of messages: there’s a lot of sensitivity, grace in the dancing, from both men and women, a certain maturity even in the men’s gestures, and then a lot of flexibility and infinite tenderness in the women’s dances,” he commented.

Mr. Hubelé is also an artist. Practicing painting as a hobby, he felt a “deep” emotion in front of this other art, the classical Chinese dance.

Mr. Hubelé understands them this way: “We have an external force that comes to us from heaven! We say at one point that it’s an eternal beginning. We’ve already experienced things that we haven’t experienced ourselves but that were experienced by our elders ... In fact, what is Truth comes back, and there’s a lot of tolerance.”

In traditional Chinese culture, everyone from the humblest peasant to the most majestic emperor lived by this connection to the divine while respecting the harmony between Heaven, Earth, and Humankind.

“We call it Divine, we call it God, we call it Buddha—to each his own beliefs. But through these beliefs, they are things that live inside us and that make us alive. I believe that if we don’t have a divine somewhere, I don’t know how we can live.”

“It is an emotion that we can also transmit to our children. It is through art that we can express things, and this evening, it was very well demonstrated. This is very, very well done. There’s calmness, commitment ... For me, it is true happiness,” he said. “Tonight, I am really charmed!”
