SÃO PAULO, Brazil—Dr. Francisco Sampaio, a doctor to stars like Rei Pelé who was named Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee, knows what it takes to perform amazing physical feats.
“It really is a majestic show! In some moments, it even got me emotional,” Dr. Sampaio said. He added that he was not familiar with traditional Chinese culture, but the performance gave him great emotion.
“It brought me emotions in the literal sense of the word! It moved me to the point of wanting to, of having tears in my eyes,” he said.
“It is a very exuberant show, and [with it] you get to have such a connection. I mean, the physical part is very intense! You get to understand the whole thing just through their bodily expressions. The colors! The girls! It was all so perfect, simply beautiful! This work, how exquisite every single detail was,” she said.
“It’s so important, because the culture is getting lost, in every country nowadays,” said Dr. Andrea Sampaio. “That’s why I brought my son. I wanted him to see the different cultures that exist and the beauty behind them, that makes us be reborn every time ever more with peace, with love. Especially that part with the singing! That presentation, the lyrics were incredibly beautiful.”The Sampaios said they wanted to extend their congratulations to Shen Yun, for their excellence as well as their bravery in creating something for the world even though it cannot be shown in China.
“We were also very impressed with the fact this kind of show can’t be shown there [in China],” Dr. Andrea Sampaio said. “That’s a magnificent show! They’re extraordinary at what they do.”
