BURGOS, Spain—Burgos, a historic city in northern Spain, welcomed Shen Yun Performing Arts on the evening of March 17, with a sold-out performance at the Fórum Evolución. For the theater’s events manager, Diego González Humada, hosting the company was a rare and remarkable opportunity.
“Moving, absolutely moving! A show of astonishing artistic quality. It has been an incredible opportunity for Burgos and for the Forum de Evolución to host this show in the city and in our auditorium. We’re very impressed,” he exclaimed.
Mr. González expressed deep gratitude to Shen Yun’s artistic director and performers for their trust in the city and venue. “Congratulations, and thank you for trusting Burgos and the Foro en Evolución as the venue for one of your shows—it has been a tremendous opportunity for us,” he said. “Congratulations, because what’s evident on stage is that there’s a tremendous amount of work behind it; it’s a gift you’ve given to the city and to the Foro en Evolución.”
Mr. González emphasized that while the forum regularly hosts artists from around the world, Shen Yun ranks among the very best.
“Fortunately, many artists and companies perform on our stages, and you certainly rank among the very best of the performances we host—we’re very proud to have been able to welcome you,” he said.
“Yes, look, the level of synchronization really stands out, as does the artistic caliber of the entire cast—the performers, musicians, and dancers,” he added. “That extremely high professional standard really catches the eye.”
He singled out the piano performances for their emotional impact, describing them as “truly moving, truly moving, and very special.” The tenor’s singing, he added, was “one of the show’s highlights.”
He appreciated Shen Yun’s efforts to revive traditional Chinese culture, pointing out that the values they promote are universal. “They’re really relevant to our Spanish and Western culture,” he said.
