ÁVILA, Spain—Some people will grab the chance to see Shen Yun Performing Arts every chance they get.
“This is the third time I’ve come to enjoy this show. Every time I come, I see a different production,” said Evelyn Olaseregi Pontesilva, a registered nurse.
Ms. Pontesilva lived in the United States for many years. Her first time seeing Shen Yun was with her husband at the Adrian Arts Center, in Miami.
Shen Yun is based in New York, and through dance and music it takes the audience on a journey through China’s 5,000 years.
“It connects you and transports you to a different level, so thank you for giving me that opportunity, I am very excited because I simply left very happy. It was a unique show,” Ms. Pontesilva said.
Among all the instruments in Shen Yun’s live orchestra, Ms. Pontesilva was most impressed with the two-string erhu, which had its moment under the spotlight.
“I recommend it because it is not only the transmission of divinity but it connects us to another level,” Ms. Pontesilva said.

Jeanette Badrán Blanco, a doctor, was able to see the internal beauty of each of the dancers.
“A very interesting thing is that ability to externalize the inner beauty. This is very important,” Ms. Blanco said.
She felt that Shen Yun was “an inner expression of nobility, of spirituality, of light. I loved it!”
Modern society has a standard of beauty that is far from traditional beauty. Ms. Blanco feels that Shen Yun reminds audiences of finding beauty within themselves.
“Very much so. It relaxes me and makes you think of the beauty that we have inside. And that many times life circumstances prevent us from expressing it. And I think we have to keep this very, very much in mind. Bring out our light,” she said.
