MÜLHEIM AN DER RUHR, Germany—On the afternoon of March 8, 2026, Shen Yun Performing Arts presented its sixth performance at the Stadthalle Mülheim an der Ruhr – Theatersaal in Germany. Christopher Seibel and his wife, Veronika Seibel, attended and expressed their admiration for the show.

The Seibels reside in a city near Mülheim. Christopher Seibel is a mechanical engineer serving as the director of Business Development at a company.

Mrs. Seibel is a physical therapist who loves dancing, including balletand modern dance. Her husband gifted her with tickets to Shen Yun.
“We absolutely loved it. The music was fantastic—truly wonderful. And the narration by the hosts was incredibly helpful in understanding the entire story and its deeper meaning. We loved it very much,” said Mrs. Seibel.
Shen Yun is based in New York, and its artists are trained in classical Chinese dance, one of the most comprehensive dance systems in the world.

“The performance, the dancing, the beautiful, colorful costumes, the uplifting mood, the spiritual depth—we truly loved it immensely,” Mrs. Seibel said.

“It was very beautiful, perfectly synchronized, and executed with precision. It left a deep impression on me,” she added.

She added that the ‘Water Sleeves’ dance left a deep impression on her.

“The water sleeve dance was incredibly graceful. I'd never seen anything like it before: the sleeves being caught and then thrown out. It created such a beautiful effect, unlike anything in other performances or shows. This dance was truly unforgettable. Very moving.”

Founded in 2006, Shen Yun Performing Arts is dedicated to reviving traditional Chinese culture. The program conveys traditional values such as sincerity, kindness, and tolerance.

“Presenting these aspects more profoundly is very meaningful. It gives people an opportunity to reflect on such matters,” Mrs. Seibel said.

Sometimes the dance features karmic retribution. Mrs. Seibel recognised the importance of being kind and considerate.

“For instance, the kindness and compassion shown to that child later manifested as good fortune. These are truly precious values—values people increasingly need. They are very, very important,” she said.

She believes opportunities for reflection are rare: “It’s wonderful that people can gain such an opportunity for reflection through such a beautiful performance.”

Veronika also expressed her eagerness to recommend Shen Yun to family and friends. She has already started searching online for other performance dates, as she very much wants to give tickets to her family.
“I want to give tickets to my sister, and maybe my mom too. I really want to recommend it to them,” she said. Her sister also dances, and the classical Chinese dance presented by Shen Yun “will definitely appeal to her.”
