CURITIBA, Brazil—On the evening of April 26, Brazilian dentist Túlio Del Conte Valcanaia and his wife attended U.S.-based Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Teatro Positivo in Curitiba, Brazil.

Mr. Valcanaia is an oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist and currently heads an institution that combines a high-end dental clinic with postgraduate dental education. He also serves as a professor and graduate supervisor, and is widely recognized in Brazil’s dental implantology and surgical fields, with multiple academic honors.

He described his experience at Shen Yun in highly positive terms.

“This is an absolutely magnificent performance,” Mr. Valcanaia said. “The lightness and fluidity of the presentation, the layered storytelling, and the spiritual depth it carries are all truly astonishing.”

“What they presented about the oppression of the Chinese people is very thought-provoking,” Mr. Valcanaia said, expressing his indignation. “And such a performance cannot even be shown in China today!”

Among the various elements of the 2-hour production, Mr. Valcanaia said the soprano’s performance stood out most for its spiritual message. He referred specifically to lyrics about humanity’s divine origin and the saving grace of the Creator.

“What she expressed—that the Creator has already come—is a beautiful affirmation of what we believe.”

He added that these themes reinforced his own convictions about faith and tradition.

Shen Yun’s mission is to revive traditional Chinese culture and restore values centered on reverence for the divine and moral integrity, presenting “China before communism.” Mr. Valcanaia called this “deeply meaningful.”

“In today’s society, people’s behavior has changed significantly. That is why preserving tradition and maintaining traditional moral values is so important.”

He felt the themes presented are especially meaningful for younger generations.

“I kept thinking while sitting there that our children should really be here watching something like this. Next time, we must bring them.”
