Shen Yun Performing Arts marveled audience members in London at the Eventim Apollo on Jan. 8.
Caroline Church, the former president of a charity, said, “I loved it. It’s a dream. It really is. The clothes are beautiful, the floaty fabrics, the talent of the dancers, the beautiful backdrops, it’s lovely. It’s a real release from a gray London day.”
Orly Wolfson, a charity fundraiser director, said she was “drawn into the story, the sound, the music, the movement.”
“I absolutely loved the screen in the back as well,” she said. “I would definitely recommend people to come and see the show.”
Michelle Eardley, an executive and career coach, said, “Whilst, you know, it’s joyful and vibrant, there’s also a certain amount of settling that you feel when you’re listening to it and watching the dance as well.”
“You just get that sort of warm glow,” she said. “It feels quite precious to the heart.”
Shen Yun takes the audience on a journey to rediscover the beauty and traditional values of pre-communist China through the expressive medium of Classical Chinese dance.
“Just incredible. If only I could be half as energetic,” Ms. Eardley said. “The energy, the vibrancy, the athleticism, it was, it was stunning.”
Ms. Church said, “It’s lovely to see some of the culture that was originally Chinese, now exhibited on stage. So that was great. I really enjoyed it.”
Ms. Wolfson said, “For me, it’s all about culture and learning about countries and also my children, my younger daughter is here with me today. I think it’s a beautiful way of learning about culture, a very easy thing. It’s a very easy way of taking things in by their performance and to learn it. It’s just phenomenal, beautiful.”
Shen Yun will perform in London through to Jan. 12, before continuing its tour through Britain.
