BUENOS AIRES, Argentina—Shen Yun Performing Arts brought a revival of 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture to Buenos Aires on April 12. Audience members were carried on a journey through ancient China, a civilization once known as ‘The Land of the Divine.”

“The artists clearly, beyond their professionalism as dancers, have an incredible connection with the human and with the Divine because otherwise, they could not do this,” Marisa De Jong, a university professor, said.

Enrique Maqueda, an architect, said  “I think it’s enlightening because only enlightened people can do something as wonderful as what they do.”

Sergio Grande, an accountant, said he enjoyed “the combination of very pleasant music that conveyed peace, conveyed calm, together with the flexibility of the artists—[they] obviously have excellent physical preparation.”

Ancient Chinese people believed their culture was inspired by the Divine, which New York-based Shen Yun showcases through classical Chinese dance, music, and stories.

Antonio Hsu, a company director, said, “I loved that transition between the screen and the show itself. When the people jump from one side and it becomes digital, I thought that was very well done. That impressed me.”

Liliana Maldonado, a lawyer, said, “I also loved the music, especially the instruments that are not known to us, that are Chinese, and that obviously I did not know. The erhu, I think that is the instrument that I did not know. Also the song performed by the soprano seemed fantastic to me.”

Alicia Lovato, an architect, said, “You leave the [theater] feeling full of energy and strength. So come on down. I urge everyone to come see it, because it’s divine.”

Shen Yun will be performing in São Paulo, Brazil, Apr 30–May 4, and Porto Alegre, Brazil, May 9–10. It also has performances across Mexico May 1-10.
