Hélène Cairel attended the premiere on Sunday, April 16. For this former sales manager in the pharmaceutical industry, “the dances are beautiful, the choreography is magnificent!”

“The dancers are very energetic and have a highly developed artistic sense.”

Daniel Dardillac is a former shopkeeper. He invited his wife to see Shen Yun for her birthday. He said he was “very happy and amazed,” saying “it is ”truly felt from the heart.”

While discovering Shen Yun, he thought that European and Asian cultures “are nonetheless getting closer because, even if it’s far away, we come back to feel all the emotions that we and our ancestors felt decades ago.”

Shen Yun means “the beauty of divine beings dancing” and Mr. Dardillac felt this connection to the divine: “There is a big resemblance with everything we have here in Europe and in France ... And the cultures, whatever they are. We look up: there is only one God, as they say, who unites everyone. And these days, that’s really something positive!”

Jean-Pascal Schiano of Collela came to see the show with his daughter.

He was impressed “by the quality of the show where you really feel the professionalism in everything ... It was really good! It’s a magic resulting from all these techniques presented on the same stage, it is extraordinary!”

This teacher explained having felt a “kind of emotion linked to this treasure, which is this multitude of things that constantly floods you and which certainly transforms you ... In fact, after this show, one is surely different and has acquired other things and can look at the world in a different way!”

For Mr. Schiano, “the divine side really appears in everything and in every form. So, indeed, you obviously feel this divine wealth that fills the dancers and musicians, and even the singers!”
