SEVILLA, Spain—On the evening of March 26, Shen Yun Performing Arts concluded its run in Sevilla with a sold-out performance. Audience members praised its presentation of “China before communism,” calling it a life-changing experience.

“The coordination of what you see, the performers on stage, with the music. And we’re really struck by the electronic aspect, what you see on the screen in the background. That perfect coordination of when it fades in and out, that’s something to admire,” physician Dr. José Rodolfo Muñoz Herazo said.

Epifanío Jesús Ponce García, a lawyer, told Shen Yun “to keep doing what they’re doing because the work they do is wonderful.”

“I love the show. If this is the third time, I think next year will be the fourth. So as far as I’m concerned, let them continue, and I will continue as well,” he said. China’s embassy in Madrid previously sent letters ahead of Shen Yun’s performances in Valencia to officials and the local theater, pressuring them to cancel Shen Yun’s performances and urging officials not to attend. Shen Yun is targeted by the Chinese regime for its raising awareness of human rights issues and is banned from performing in China.

“They are doing a wonderful job. They have impeccable coordination. I’m very glad they brought this performance here,” Macarena Romero Romero, a financial professional, said.

Shen Yun’s mission is to revive 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture—a culture the Chinese communist regime has been seeking to destroy in order to secure its rule. The company also exposes the communist party’s persecution of faith, and is one of the reasons Shen Yun cannot perform in China.

“When they speak of the depth of the essence of human nature, such as the meaning of life, there’s a message there—very profound and philosophical—and they manage to convey it there. What they say about the first emperor in ancient times, and then the contrast with the current religious persecution in China, moves you,” Dr. Herazo said.

From ancient myths and legends, to modern-day stories of persecution, Shen Yun exposes the human rights atrocities of state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting taking place in China today against prisoners of conscience.

Dr. Herazo said, “Given my profession as a doctor, one can’t help but feel it’s an ethical, bioethical issue. It’s unbelievable that this is happening.”

Mr. Garcia said, “You’re going to have a wonderful time. A wonderful time because it’s so enjoyable visually, with the music, with everything. It’s a marvel, a total marvel.”

“[You] shouldn’t hesitate to come, [and you] should come relaxed, prepared with an open mind, to enjoy [yourself] and unwind,” Dr. Herazo said. “Even after it ends, you keep thinking about everything in a positive way.”

Shen Yun will be performing in Aix-en-Provence, France, from April 15–20.
