PARIS—Since Tuesday, Feb. 14, Paris has been vibrating to the warm sounds of Shen Yun’s music at the Palais des Congrès.

“It’s great and beautiful,” exclaimed Mr. de Varine-Bohan enthusiastically. “It is very original, very colorful, and, above all, beautifully synchronized without a single mistake!”

Mr. de Varine-Bohan believes that Shen Yun is “like a very strong state of mind of respect for tradition, with the ‘warrior art’ remaining.”

Mrs. de Varine-Bohan said she “greatly appreciated the show,” and was moved by both the spirituality and the technique of these artists.

“These human values are timeless, and we would like to see them more often here in Europe and in the rest of the world. It is good that people perpetuate these traditions, which we thought were still alive in China ... But we discover that not all of them are, unfortunately, since this show cannot perform in China. However, I notice that, fortunately, the tradition is always stronger!” he said.

Mrs. de Varine-Bohan was also sensitive to these human values: “We can feel the principles promoted by spirituality which are cruelly lacking in our world today. So, when you are sensitive to beauty, when you are sensitive to the work behind the dances, you are sensitive to the spirituality that permeates it all. It is a whole: it is spirituality, but also an art of living.”

The Shen Yun artists certainly embodied those values, she continued, for instance through their excellence. “I is very complicated to dance so well, it requires a lot of discipline,” she said.

For Mrs. de Varine-Bohan, the spirituality in the culture bolstered her own.

“It echoed my principles as well, which are based-faith values,” she said. “I think that spirituality and faith, whatever the religion, are universal. It echoes all these principles which are completely universal.”

“We are cruelly lacking this type of show,” he lamented. “I think that today, we are in a world lacking a lot in spirituality and this is a show for everyone.”

“In my opinion, these types of shows are essential for our children today, precisely, because of all the human values of peace and tolerance.”
