Shen Yun Performing Arts continue their European tour, with a second show in Berlin on Saturday.

And by all accounts, the audience found the performance highly enjoyable.

[Hans Maronna, Entrepreneur]:
“The evening was wonderful. This is the first time I've seen the show. I had heard of it, but to experience it - you feel like you're in a fairy tale movie. For me, it was incredibly emotional.”

Some in the audience say they resonated with a spiritual depth the show exuded.

[Thorsten Wittke, Radio Programming Director]:
“I myself am a very spiritual person, and the references to the divine were not particularly foreign to me. I felt my inner life very well reflected through it. This was not that new to me also - I felt there was a certain familiarity there, indeed.”

This artist was inspired by the vivid use of color in scenographic design.

[René Melzer, Artist & Graphic Designer]:
“I found the colors very inspiring, especially in the costumes, but also the whole combination with the music and the dance. This was amazing, I have to say. It was really the combination of it all. Every time it was a completely new scenery. The colors also changed the mood every time, and one could feel this inside. I feel it in myself and now I would like to paint and express that.”

Digital and animated projections of the scenery complemented the dance on stage.

[Karl-Heinz Drescher, Entrepreneur]:
“The whole composition impressed me very much. The way all the incredible dancers combined together. And I have never seen anything like the stage scenery here.”

[Sigrun Dierkes, Retired Doctor] :
"Lovely images in the background scenography. Very nice how it transitioned from people dancing in front of the screen to them sort of jumping into the image."

[Karl-Heinz Drescher, Entrepreneur]:
“And the variety of colors. How they have shown everything with so many colored costumes. Also the amount of the dancers who danced in sync. This was a fantastic experience for me. Even just in terms of the optical and acoustic effects. I can recommend this show to everybody.”
