AARHUS, Denmark—Aarhus is Denmark’s second-largest city, and its history can be traced back to the Viking settlement at the mouth of the Aarhus River. On April 8 and 9, the Concert Hall welcomed Shen Yun Performing Arts to share the beauty of an even more ancient civilization with the Danish audience.

“It’s so wonderful. It’s completely different from what I usually see in theaters or concert halls. It’s great to be able to experience China’s ancient traditions and culture. It’s really amazing,” said Charlotte Broman Mølbæk,  a member of the Danish Parliament and her party’s culture spokesperson.

Shen Yun’s dancers are trained in classical Chinese dance, one of the most comprehensive dance systems in the world.

“I think many people were impressed by the outstanding performance of the dancers. It’s fascinating,” said Ms. Mølbæk.

The mission of Shen Yun is to revive 5,000 years of Chinese civilization. Chinese culture was once a place of great spirituality and moral values.

“[Shen Yun] reminds us of how sacred we are as human beings and how important it is to continue to be kind to each other. It reminds us to always pursue love, joy, light, and all these good things,” Ms. Mølbæk said.

Despite its effort to give the world the best impression of China, Shen Yun’s dedication to presenting a China before communism has made it unable to perform in China.

“It’s not easy to be Chinese nowadays. These young people are standing up to do something so difficult. It means they can’t go back to China, or they might have conflicts with their families, etc. It’s very inspiring,” Ms. Mølbæk said.

Ms. Mølbæk believes that seeing Shen Yun will give people an unforgettable experience.
“I would say you have to go and watch it to get a completely different cultural experience. You can really experience things beyond imagination,” she said.

Outstanding Performance

Jan Abildgaard Pedersen, CEO of a private company, was also captivated by Shen Yun’s performance.

“This is an outstanding performance and highly artistic. It definitely provides the audience with an excellent way to understand Chinese culture,” Mr. Pedersen said.

Mr. Pedersen was highly impressed with the discipline and harmony in Shen Yun’s dances.

“All the dancers cooperated very well. Their movements are very fluent, and they have a high spirit of self-discipline. The display of techniques and all the details were just right; it’s all amazing,” he said.

Shen Yun’s use of its digital backdrop is patented technology. The projection extends the stage endlessly, allowing dancers to interact and pop on and off the stage in the blink of an eye.

“I like the seamless connection between the stage and the backdrop. The performance integrated the backdrop perfectly,” said Mr. Pedersen.
