TEL AVIV, Israel—Eric Danon, the French Ambassador to Israel for several years, attended Shen Yun Performing Arts with his wife at the Tel Aviv Performing Arts Center on April 8.
“We leave the show with the desire that it never ends, that we are on a journey and we want to stay in it,” said Mr. Danon in an interview with NTD television.
Mr. Danon likened the experience to a kind of “world of fairies,” where people come down from the heavens and others ascend to the heavens. Indeed, during 5,000 years of history, China was once known as the “Land of the Divine.”
“It’s perfect from beginning to end. It’s a very powerful aesthetics. The moment the curtain rises, everyone is amazed by the beauty of what they see. First, the fog rises above the stage, and then the dancers emerge from it, it’s absolutely wonderful.”
“There are many scenes in the show that refer to modern life, to modernity and to what is happening in the world today, like the COVID-19 pandemic. This actually makes the show even more relevant and meaningful,” he said.
