CALGARY, Canada—When Francisco Huertes, an engineer with his own consultancy, remembers the person helping him purchase his tickets to see Shen Yun Performing Arts saying, “this music and this performance will touch your soul.”

“That’s the best description,” said Mr. Huertes, who confessed he himself was at a loss for words during intermission of the March 11 evening Shen Yun performance at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium in Calgary.

New York-based Shen Yun is the world’s premier classical Chinese dance company, and its mission is to revive 5,000 years of Chinese civilization.
Mr. Huertes said Shen Yun was “more than just a presentation; it’s something that you see but you take with you from now on.”

Through the music and the movement, “we can feel what they are trying to convey, and all the history,” he said. “That feeling of so many things that have been there for so long and they are still being kept alive, and not only alive but it is also being transmitted to other persons.”

“Unbelievably excellent, I don’t know exactly which words to use, but a lot of work, a lot of love, a lot of practice,” he said.

Mr. Huertes felt Shen Yun showcased the vital parts of humanity, portraying what transcends one’s daily struggles.

“There are different ways of living a life ... there’s always conflict. But there is always that part that unites all of us, and the origin of life, whatever we are going to, which is beyond anything that we can live on a day to day—it transcends all of us.”

He expressed tremendous gratitude toward the artists.

“I couldn’t find the words to express the admiration, the gratitude, all that love that they are putting into that is really, really—just a simple thank you is not enough. It’s more than that.

“I don’t know how could I repay ever what I have gotten in just a couple of hours,” he said.
