GRONINGEN, Netherlands—Shen Yun Performing Arts gave four performances at the MartiniPlaza in Groningen, Netherlands from Jan. 20 to Jan. 22. Audience members had the opportunity to learn about traditional Chinese culture and get a glimpse of what China was like before communism.

“This is truly one of the most amazing experiences that I have ever had in my life,” said Maia Boyanova, a dentist who watched Shen Yun on Jan. 20.  “It is truly, truly amazing. The performance is so good and so lively and so gracious as well, that you’re just speechless all the time.”

Based in New York, Shen Yun was founded in 2006 by leading Chinese artists who wished to revive traditional Chinese culture through classical Chinese dance and music. Shen Yun is now the world’s premier performing arts company, with eight equally sized companies that tour the world simultaneously. Shen Yun’s 2023 season is its biggest yet, and the eight companies will be touring five continents, over 20 countries, and over 180 cities.

Attending the performance with Ms. Boyanova was dentist Sanda Boistean.

“I was also very impressed,” said Ms. Boistean. “Asian culture—especially Chinese culture—is very rich. To have it transmitted [into] art like dancing [and] music, it’s really amazing how they can … [evoke] so many emotions … We’re getting goosebumps.”

Ms. Boyanova and Ms. Boistean enjoyed the erhu solo that was part of Shen Yun’s program. An erhu is a traditional Chinese stringed instrument with only two strings yet can portray a wide range of emotions, which impressed the two ladies.

“The old instrument with just two strings—we really got to tears for that,” said Ms. Boistean. “We’re like, how amazing is that?”

“They’re speaking through colors, through costumes, through the gracious moves, through the music … you’re so transported into the legend, into the story that they wanted to share.”
