BUENOS AIRES, Argentina—Leaving the show feeling like a different person to when he arrived, was Mr. Arenas. The musician, pianist, and civil engineer, attended Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Auditorio Belgrano in Buenos Aires Saturday July 4.
“I would say to people that this is not to miss,” he said. “It is really an enriching experience. I am not leaving as I came. I am leaving with something more. You can see beyond the surface, how virtuous these performers are, and you can see that there is even more than that.”
Shen Yun seeks to revive the traditions of ancient Chinese culture, using Chinese classical dance and legends to tell stories and weave historic tales.
“It is very different,” he said. “This spectacle is very complex. It is totally new to me. It is [classical] Chinese dance. It is essentially different from everything else. It is very attractive, I liked it very much.”
Mr. Arenas has been dedicating himself to playing the piano every day—he has done this since he was 11 years old.
“The music is very different, very pure, very pure,” he said. “This was a different show. I am used to attending concerts where one goes and relaxes. This show, one has to be active in order to interpret the message.
“I liked everything. I’m happy I came to the show.”
Shen Yun 'transmits wisdom'
“I liked it very much about the Chinese culture, the choreography, the music, and the dances. It was so good,” he said.
“It transmits wisdom. There was a message in each act. It was truly very good, very good.”
The solo on the ehru, a two-stringed Chinese instrument, was spectacular, he said. “I also liked the tenors and sopranos.”
“I liked very much the part about the repression and the perseverance about following with the beliefs despite all adversities that one could find,” Mr. Natalini said. “I liked that very much, very much.”
He was referring to scenes depicting the modern-day persecution of Falun Gong, a spiritual practice in China that has been persecuted for the past 10 years.
“Truly, I think it was fantastic! I totally recommend this show.”
Shen Yun will be performing in Buenos Aires until July 5. Santiago, Chile, will host three shows from July 10 to 12. The show will then return to Argentina on July 16, this time in Cordoba, performing three shows until July 18.
