“At first, it felt too short because there are so many beautiful things constantly happening, from the physical strength, the harmony, the faces, the figures they create, the beauty of the dance, the beauty of the music. It seems to me that above all, it’s a source of beauty. That brings us a lot of peace,” Rene Bolio Halloran, an attorney with the Human Rights Commission of Mexico, said.

“It’s excellent, it’s top-notch because they’re professionals and they’re [world-class], so giving us a taste of their work is excellent,” Isaac Perez Zamora, a professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, said.

“Wonderful, and they truly achieve a very good combination with the classical orchestras we’re used to hearing with the Chinese instruments. This, to me, seems like a beautiful combination with the strings, the gong, and everything. They did it very well,” Mr. Halloran added.

Mr. Halloran said, “Everything that humankind began to create more than 5,000 years ago that transcends to this day cannot end—cannot be destroyed. Although communism tries to do so, and has tried to do so for a long time, these kinds of events remind us that this story hasn’t ended, that history continues, that beauty will continue, that good will continue, and that good will triumph. So, this message of blending beauty with goodness and truth seems to me to be a great success and conveys a lot to all of us who see it.”

Mr. Zamora said, “Just as dance is universal, so is art, whether musical, artistic, or dance-related. It’s impressive, of course.”

“It’s such a coordinated show; music, lights, dancers, everything. I promise to be here again next year. I absolutely loved it. And I’m already asking them what day and date to call, we have to keep an eye out because I really want to see another, different show,” Edgardo Gómez Montes, a veterinarian, said.

Shen Yun tours the world each year with a whole-new show featuring fresh choreography, drawing from China’s rich 5,000-years of history.
