Shen Yun 'Allowed Us to Breathe,' Says Audience in Paris

Many audience members in France have been waiting for Shen Yun’s return. Last weekend, Shen Yun started its tour in Paris, performing in the city for the first time in two years due to the pandemic. Some say seeing the show allows them to breathe again. "I bought my tickets two years ago. The performance allowed us to breathe," said Bérengère Paulack, a former book restorer. "I'm really glad I was able to come to the show now, because it was so stunning, so unique, so wonderful, a wonderful experience for the eyes, the spirit, and the heart," said Joao Calado, project manager of GFI. “I noticed that there were quite a few spiritual connotations in the dances and in the texts that are written behind the dances," said Charles Bernard, director of RCF Radio Burgundy. "That’s what touches me particularly because I myself am president of a French-speaking Christian radio.”
