NEUCHATEL, Switzerland—Shen Yun Performing Arts Touring Company graced the stage at Neuchatel’s Théâtre du Passage with its opening show on Thursday, May 13.
Neuchatel is an historic town located in northwest Switzerland. It is known for its impressive architecture and natural beauty, as well as its high-tech industry.
Patrice Neuenschwander, cultural delegate of the city of Neuchatel, came to the opening show of Shen Yun on Thursday.
“I have very much enjoyed this show which glorifies ancient China and its values,” he said after watching the show.
“This is a truly magical show, the colors are really extraordinary, the costumers are fantastic, the technique of both the male and female dancers are also quite remarkable. It’s really a beautiful spectacular.”
As the cultural delegate for the City, Mr. Neuenschwander deals with different cultural performers and artists such as theatre and dance groups and writers. He is also in contact with twin towns and the Federal Office of Culture and his counterparts in other cities through the Conference of Swiss Cities and Cultural Issues.
Mr. Neuenschwander said that he has welcomed many different shows to Neuchatel, but noted Shen Yun holds a special place.
“This one is special in that it conveys a culture that we aren’t used to coexist with here in Europe and that we might have a bit forgotten,” he said.
“I discovered one part of the Chinese culture that I didn’t know about.”
The show, Mr. Neuenschwander said, is a “grand extravaganza of color and movement.”
