STOCKHOLM, Sweden—Ms. Margareta Wallenius-Kleberg, family owner of an international shipping company, came to see Shen Yun Performing Arts on April 9 at the Cirkus in Stockhom with her friend Ms. Ingegerd Winblom.

Ms. Wallenius-Kleberg, who has previously travelled to China, said she learned a lot about ancient China and found the performance very interesting, saying it was a unique experience.

“It was so well directed, and the combination of the ancient dances and modern technology was totally incredible. I will be happy to come back to see it again in the future if they come back to Sweden. It was very, very good,” she said.

The Shen Yun performance is based on the history of China’s 5,000-year-old civilization, an era when the divine culture flourished in China. This culture has now almost been lost. According to Shen Yun’s website, the company aims to bring this precious treasure back to mankind.

Ms. Wallenius-Kleberg said she was fascinated and touched by the spiritual aspect the show.

“There exist different religions, but everyone has a god and something in the heaven we long for, so I think it was very significant indeed,” she said.

Ms. Wallenius-Klebergwas mentioned one of the dances, An Unexpected Encounter, a modern-day piece depicting the spiritual practice Falun Dafa, showing practitioners doing the exercises in a park.

Ms. Wallenius-Kleberg wished she could do some of those movements [of Falun Dafa].

Her friend, Ms. Ingegerd Winblom agreed. Ms. Winblom works for the Red Cross and helps Baltic countries (Baltikumhjälpen) and people with dementia. She has been a nurse by occupation.

She said about Shen Yun, “I think it was very interesting. It is beautiful; I was impressed with everything that was performed, and the technology,” she said.

She thought it was extraordinary how Shen Yun has been able to accomplish such a large production on tour in Sweden. “I was therefore very impressed indeed. Beautiful and touching,” Ms. Winblom said.

Ms. Winblom has been to China previously, but realized that this kind of performance can’t be seen in China today.

“I think it’s so sad, I can’t tell you how sad I think it is. I only hope that it will change,” she said.

Ms. Winblom said the performance really touched her, all the beautiful colors, dance, and techniques. “I am impressed by people who can do this, because I think it’s absolutely fantastic.”
