“It’s a very moving show because we’re going through centuries, even millennia! We’re not used to it at all anymore, so this kind of beauty making its way through centuries, it’s quite extraordinary to see it brought back to life in this form, so I really enjoyed it!” said Laporte, who attended Shen Yun’s performance on Wednesday, March 11, 2020, at the Corum of Montpellier.

“The colors are sublime and the staging impeccable, of course, the artists are irreproachable, outstanding as they say in English, and I had a very, very good evening,” he added.

“The music is excellent, I was afraid that the music was going to be too string-based, [the typical sound] you can hear in [all] Asian music, but this is good, it is a very good combination,” Laporte said, adding he even spotted classical motifs reminiscent of Mozart.

The artists of Shen Yun have taken on the mission to revive traditional Chinese culture.

“I’m going home feeling quite well ... it is a good show and I recommend those who haven’t seen it to go and see it!” he concluded. “Without hesitation! Without any hesitation whatsoever!”
