SYDNEY, Australia—Australian entrepreneur and billionaire Imelda Roche attended Shen Yun Performing Arts at Sydney’s Capitol Theatre on Feb. 28 and was fascinated by the world-class performance.

Roche is the founder of the skincare and beauty product company Nutrimetics and the Roche Group, a property development company.

“Absolutely wonderful. I’ve just been spellbound by the beauty of this presentation. It is incredible,” she said.

“There is a lot of spirituality in the messages that come through from the presentation ... everything about it is so well coordinated.

“What I will take home with me is a message to everybody I know—to come see this presentation.”

Roche was amazed by Shen Yun’s special interactive backdrop, a technology developed and patterned by the performing arts company, which serves as an extension of the stage and allows the dancers to perform seemingly magical movements.

“The technology that’s been applied to have somebody in physical form transformed onto a screen and then up into the heavens—it’s absolutely amazing,” she said.

The entrepreneur also praised Shen Yun dancers for their skills.

“They are remarkable. The ability and the balance of these dancers—I’m just spellbound at their control and their agility,” she said.

At the same time, Roche said it was very regrettable that Shen Yun was not able to perform in China.

The communist regime considers traditional Chinese culture as a threat and has been systematically destroying it since 1949.

As Shen Yun’s mission is to revive the 5,000 years of Chinese civilisation and present it to the world, the CCP has banned the performance in China and tried to suppress it overseas through sabotage, paid propaganda, and coordinated smearing campaigns.

Roche also stated that Chinese people had contributed to Australian society and that what people heard about them was not the true picture.

“I say to everybody I know that the Chinese people have been great contributors to Australia since the early days of the Gold Rush times—when I think about what they did to set up Chinese restaurants in all of our outlying towns and cities,” she said.

“You don’t judge the Chinese people from what you see and hear today from the CCP. That is a very small segment and an unfortunate one because it doesn’t reflect the true spirit of the Chinese people,” she said.
