American Shen Yun World Troupe Captivates Audiences in Stockholm
On March 29, 2024, the American Shen Yun World Troupe performed two breathtaking shows at the Cirkus Theater in Stockholm, Sweden. The performances, held on the afternoon and evening of that day, attracted a diverse audience, including many foreign visitors in town for the Easter holiday.
The audience at the Cirkus Theater was enthralled by the talent and artistry displayed by the Shen Yun artists. Applause and cheers filled the theater, creating an electrifying atmosphere throughout the shows. The second half of the performance was met with even more enthusiasm, with the audience eagerly anticipating what was to come.
At the end of the shows, the audience rose to their feet to show their appreciation for the Shen Yun artists. The return of divinity brought by Shen Yun left a lasting impact on the spectators, with some even expressing a desire to learn more about Falun Dafa, a practice that Shen Yun promotes.
The performances featured a mix of traditional Chinese culture, vibrant costumes, and a blend of Western and Chinese classical music by the Shen Yun Orchestra. The erhu solo in particular moved the audience to tears, with the senior sound engineer expressing his deep appreciation for the orchestra’s high level of coordination.
Swedish writer Annika Sundbom, a United Nations peace mediator trainer, and her son were also in attendance and were captivated by Shen Yun’s portrayal of heaven and the return of divinity. Sundbom praised the beauty of the performance, calling it both powerful and soft in its execution.
As the Troupe continues its tour, they aim to spread traditional Chinese culture and values to audiences around the world. Despite not being able to perform in mainland China, Shen Yun’s bravery in showcasing their art globally is commendable, leaving a lasting impact on all those who have the opportunity to witness their performances.
The Shen Yun World Troupe’s shows in Stockholm left a profound impression on all those in attendance, showcasing the importance of preserving traditional cultures and spreading messages of beauty, kindness, and care. Editor in charge: Yu Ping.
