GUADALAJARA, Mexico—Martin Mauricio Cuburu, a CEO, was lucky enough to secure tickets to Shen Yun Performing Arts for himself and his wife, Ina Maria Quiñonez Gutierrez. The couple watched Shen Yun’s sixth performance at Conjunto Santander Artes Escénicas, Universidad de Guadalajara, on May 8 and were part of an enthusiastic audience that burst into applause when the performance ended. The couple said that they believe Shen Yun brought hope.

“I think this performance is extremely wonderful, with rich colors and beautiful music, and it fully demonstrates tradition and culture,” said Mr. Cuburu.

“I really like the colors of the show and the girls’ costumes. I am impressed by the precision of all the dances,” said Ms. Gutierrez.

“I was deeply impressed by the diversity of the show, the live music, and the perfect combination of singing and dancing,” said Mr. Cuburu. “At the same time, I was also surprised that such a show could not be seen in China.”

“Chinese traditional culture has a long history, and there is a lot worth learning from us. I think many traditions are even older than the Christianity we practice, and these traditions enrich our culture and faith.”

Mr. Cuburu also said that he saw “respect for tradition, [and] respect for people” in Shen Yun’s performance.

“I think that’s the most important thing. I saw a deep respect,” he said.

Also in the audience were Jesus Parra, a retired engineer, and Araceli Galarza, a business owner. Ms. Galarza said the beauty of Shen Yun’s performance and traditional Chinese culture moved her to tears.

“It is a work that transmits a lot of joy, a lot of passion for art. I loved it, I am fascinated with the work. Its culture is extraordinary. I was struck by how they transmit a very great love for their culture.”

“I am moved by the values that are transmitted through the work and how sometimes we have to change due to violence because it does not allow us to enjoy that privilege of culture. How nice that they come here to our country to show that culture, that love, that passion for art. That is very beautiful.”

Ms. Galarza also said that the divinity of Shen Yun “makes you dream, makes you see a [different] world.”

“Despite what is happening in our world, it makes you see something beautiful, something that can be possible if we all work on ourselves.”
