OXFORD, UK—Shen Yun Performing Arts performed its all-new production at the New Theatre in Oxford to the delight of the audience.

George Middleton, an archaeologist, said the performance was “fantastic. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Especially the way they use the screen at the back. The backdrop and the dancers jump down. It’s very, very good.”

Shen Yun’s patented 3D backdrop interacts with the performers who jump and fly in and out of the screen, to the amazement of many in the audience.

Jan Burton, a retired transcriber of the BBC Caversham, said, “Oh, it’s just Wonderful. The way it’s all done. And the hidden things, you know.”

Mr. Middleton said, “Everything is so precise. Precise, precise. ... Well coordinated.”

“A lot of energy involved and concentration, I think, to get it so precise,” he added.

Roger Kemp, a landlord, said, “Very spectacular. I particularly like when [the performers] disappeared into the clouds, then they came back. How they do that? I don’t know.”

While Shen Yun performs around the world, it is unable to perform in China.

He said, “I like China. We’ve been to China. I hope they do allow it in China.”

“Lovely. I like the backgrounds,” he said. “I think it’s very good. I’m very pleased.”

“I think it’s very important. I’m surprised China itself doesn’t realize that. But yes, I think [Shen Yun promoting traditional values] is marvelous.”

Mr. Kemp personally resonated with the beauty of nature in Shen Yun. “Having been to China and been around the gardens. I mean, it’s very similar to the atmosphere you have in the gardens. Isn’t it? Very peaceful. ... I’ve seen the Chinese and Japanese gardens. They’re similar.”

To the performers, Mr. Kemp had words of praise.

“Well done. I think the dancing is fantastic, and [I’m] very pleased with it,” he said.
