PARIS, France—Charles Bernard, president of RCF radio, said that people should not be overly worried about the pandemic and instead attend a Shen Yun performance which he described as exceptional.

“I noticed that there were quite a few spiritual connotations in the dances and in the texts that are written behind the dances, that’s what touches me particularly because I myself am president of a French-speaking Christian radio,” he said.

“The message of peace, the message of benevolence, the message of spirituality—there you go—all these messages are beautiful,” Bernard said.

“I think it’s a great show, magnificent,” he added.

“The sets are extraordinary and there are little extras that I find exceptional, in particular the back of the stage where you see the characters on a screen and who appear, all of a sudden, on the stage, it’s an entertaining and interesting use of technology,” Bernard said.
