French Magazine Reports on Approaching Spectacular in Paris

A month before Shen Yun’s New Year Spectacular in Paris (February 29th, March 1st and 2nd), the largest magazine in France, Femme Actuelle (over 1 million copies per week) devoted a full page and a half to the Shen Yun Spectacular.

Emphasising the high artistic quality of the show, the journalist compliments the “astounding” beauty of choreography, hand-made costumes and shimmering scenery “worthy of the biggest spectaculars”.

Admiring the rich historical content of Shen Yun, he explained that the New Year Spectacular depicts a “forgotten” China, “not Mao Zedong’s China, not the China of the Tiananmen tragic events in 1989”, and brings back to life the “most refined periods of history that the planet has ever gone through : the prosperous Tang and Qing dynasties.”

From what the journalist understood, “behind the beauty” Shen Yun’s show is “imbued with peace and tolerance” and expresses “values that are all too often trampled in China”.
