SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico—The 2024 season is the first time for Shen Yun Performing Arts to step onto Puerto Rican soil. Shen Yun is scheduled for six performances over four days from January 19–22 at the Centro de Bellas Artes Luis A Ferré.
“The show is fantastic. I love everything about Chinese culture. The history portrayed through Shen Yun is excellent and I really enjoyed it,” he said.
“I feel all the energy from the dancers, and the dance they perform is spectacular,” he said.
Shen Yun uses dance and music to recreate stories from past and present-day China.
“All these stories really touched my heart. I feel very moved, and I experienced a profound sentiment watching the show, especially considering what is happening in China, where you cannot present this show,” said Mr. García.
He also praised Shen Yun’s musicians.
“The singer was very good, and the pianist is excellent too. The live orchestra they have is also great; I really liked it,” he said.
Shen Yun’s animated backdrop follows the singer to provide a translation of the text so that audiences around the world can understand what is being sung in Chinese.
“I understood the lyrics very well, and it makes a lot of sense. It talks about how the modern world today is immersed in its own affairs and forgets about the values which are important,” said Mr. García.
He elaborated that the text conveyed important values we often forget in the materialistic world.
“I perceived the message emphasizing the importance of values, kindness, helping others, and stepping away from the materialistic world that often makes us forget these things,” he said.
“I'll recommend it to everyone; it’s excellent. I already have other friends who are coming to the last show on Monday,” he said.
