(Clearwisdom.net) U.S.-based Shen Yun Touring Company completed is second show on the evening on July 17, 2009 at the Orfeo Superdomo Theatre in Cordoba, Argentina. The audience in this famous cultural city was mesmerized by Shen Yun's display of the consummate compassion and beauty of China's divinely-inspired culture. Chinese audience members in particular felt proud.

Chinese painter: Truly the pride of the Chinese people

Shan Shui (pseudonym), a Chinese painter who has engaged in oil painting for over 20 years, was reluctant to leave after the performance concluded. He said that he had never seen a show like Shen Yun, with such a large scale and high artistic standard. "Tonight, I'm proud to be Chinese! It's truly the pride of the Chinese people!"

He said, "It can be seen even from the backdrops, the artistic effect is fantastic! The characteristic of Chinese painting is to make the best use of ink to polish and deal with lines. The mountains in the background have a fabulous painterly effect by incorporating [contrasts of] heavy color and light color in the style of Chinese paintings, that add radiance and beauty to each other, plus the perfect incorporation of lighting. That effect thoroughly and splendidly reflects the art of Chinese painting. Very beautiful!"

Dance teacher: Shen Yun dance is the basis of all classical dance

Ms. Flores, a dance teacher, was impressed by the grandness of the show. She was fascinated by the classical Chinese dance, which she knew to be the basis of all classical dance. "It was perfect, harmonious and the most beautiful show I have ever seen," she said. The show was "fabulous," she said, adding that she felt a part of each scene. She said that Shen Yun was the best. Ms. Flores was also delighted by the costumes, saying they were "stupendous."

She said she would definitely recommend the show to others. "A lot of people must come to enjoy it," she said. "If people want something different, enjoy a nice time, see something that they have only dreamed of, something beautiful, [then] they have to come and see the show."

Business owner: Traditional values immediately touch the depth of one's heart

Mrs. Barrera is an Argentinean business owner. She enjoyed the Shen Yun performance and said at intermission, "Oh, yes! I liked it! The costumes were stunning, the agility of the girls, the sweetness, the scenery, those backdrops ... really delightful. The truth is that this one hour just fled away without me realizing."

Speaking of the Shen Yun performance, Mrs. Barrera said that what she enjoyed the most was that the performance gave her a kind of courage, values and strength. Mrs. Barrera was struck by the values conveyed in the lyrics of the songs sung by the award-winning vocalists. She was impressed by the dance in which the warrior did not know whether to stay and take care of his mother or go to war [The Loyalty of Yu Fei]. Mrs. Barrera was also moved by the dance depicting the persecution of Falun Gong [Heaven Awaits Us Despite Persecution].

"Yes, that! I can highlight that, which is what we are experiencing all over the world; the lack of tolerance, the lack of compassion. I feel it is so important to transmit all of that here. It is important for the world's people to know," said Mrs. Barrera. "Sometimes you really need to dig in to get what they want to transmit ... I felt it was so direct, very direct, without any waste."

Musician: a perfect combination of music and dance

Musician Pablo Mendez Cercas attended the Shen Yun performance with his wife Ms. Leticia Laspeas, a dancer and choreographer at Orfeo Superdomo, Argentina

Mr. M¨¦ndez was mesmerized by the solo musicians, singers and percussionist, noting that it was of, "a very high musical level, very meticulous, so precise and with a lot of intensity. And particularly, I found very interesting the work of the Tang drummers, the corporal interaction that the musicians have on stage is something rarely seen, being able to integrate the music with the dance and everything is so precise, meticulous and beautiful."

Mr. M¨¦ndez said the ability to dance while playing an instrument was "complicated and a very good achievement," as displayed in the dance, Chopsticks Zest, characterized by the crackle of chopsticks incorporated with bold, masculine movements.

Businessman: Impressive and purifies the soul

Businessman Mr. Lawson commented that he found the show to be very beautiful. He remarked that his auditory and visual senses were deeply affected by this kind of beauty. Everything about the show displayed the beauty of Chinese culture, respect for loyalty, a peaceful state of mind. He added that the harmony between the choreography and the backdrops was very well thought out. "The choreography was synchronized, revealing a kind of pure beauty, and with the incorporation of music and backdrops, it touched every cell of our bodies," said Mr. Lawson.

Mr. Lawson had a feeling of "peace and emotion." His wife agreed. "We felt the say way," said Mr. Lawson. He said that he would recommend the show to others, and would tell them that the show was impressive and purifies the soul.

Financial services professional: Have never seen such a completely new performance

Jorge Ruiz and his wife Adriana Perlo attended the Shen Yun performance, and said that they had never seen such a new and fresh performance.

"It is spectacular, I enjoyed everything very much. For me this is all new. I have seen some [Chinese] movies, I have seen some similar dances, but not the same as these. ... we're not accustomed to seeing something like this," Mr. Ruiz said.

Mr. Ruiz was particularly touched by the dance The Loyalty of Yue Fei. "It's about a representation where the warrior takes care of the mother," Mr. Ruiz said. "It's a very sensitive situation and at the same time he wants to defend his country. It touched me a lot."

Mr. Ruiz and Mrs. Perlo said they would recommend the show to their family and friends and ask them to be sure to come and see it.

Shen Yun Performing Arts has one more show in Cordoba, Argentina, at 9:00 p.m. on July 18. After the Argentina tour, they will perform in Westchester, New York for one night only, on August 2.
