Shen Yun Performing Arts dazzled audiences in Curitiba, Brazil, on April 26, taking theatergoers on a journey through ancient China.

“Incredible technique, truly incredible, not only in dance, but also acrobatics and physical training. Very interesting. I really liked it a lot,” Fabiana de Oliveira Cunha, a former ballerina, said.

Shen Yun’s mission is to revive 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture from “China before communism.” Each performance also features a live orchestra that combines both classical Eastern and Western instruments, and impressed many of the theatergoers.

“I think every ballet performance should have a live orchestra. It’s extraordinary, it’s perfect. It created a very genuine combination,” Ms. Cunha said.

“For me, it is the true China. It was really nice, the orchestra was very synchronized with the dancers. It was truly impactful, very nice,” Anderson Ramos, co-owner of the childhood music education school Panderolê Musicaliza, said.

“What really happens. To know that there are Chinese people outside China producing art and speaking about their history,” Nádia Lopes, co-owner Panderolê Musicaliza, said. “So it was very precious for us to learn a little more about this story.”

“Incredible, divine, beautiful. It is impressive when you hear the music, it feels as though you are inside a movie. It is so vivid, so beautiful. The orchestra itself is wonderful,” Eliana de Oliveira More Maia, culinary arts program coordinator, said.

“All of them speak of goodness, all of them speak of love. That is always welcome, especially in a society like ours today,” Ms. Cunha said. “May they come to Brazil more often. They will always be very welcome, and may they keep surprising us with different productions.”

Hailing from New York, Shen Yun will be performing in Brazil’s São Paulo from April 30–May 4, and Porto Alegre from May 9–10.
