THE HAGUE, Netherlands—Sigfried Wagner owns a catering company focused on Indonesian delicacies. He lives in Delft with his Chinese-Indonesian wife. He was astounded to find "the level of this show is above the unbelievable—it's unbelievably beautiful."
"The choreography is composed in such an unbelievably good way—there cannot be any mistakes made at all. The limberness of the dancers is tremendous. I think it's something only [Asian] people can do—I just admire it, honestly. It's actually the most beautiful show I have ever seen in my life."
He had just seen the second performance of the Shen Yun Chinese Spectacular at The Hague.
"What I found really special is the simplicity of the performance, but nevertheless it carries a huge content. Without too much fuss, without too much saying 'we're going to do this or that...You just have to watch it, and then you're being guided towards the meaning of it. That's fantastic," Mr. Wagner said.
"What I noticed enormously is the composition of the colors. I'm an amateur photographer, and in nature you learn what the composition of certain colors is, but this is unbelievable—daring. Daring and beautiful, really beautiful."
Esther De Bruyn works in the health field as a nursing assistant. She said she liked the movement and the variety: "The show is fantastic. I especially like the dancing and the choreography. I'm active with eurhythmics, which is also an art of movement, and here I see really ancient forms of movement, which I recognize.
"I especially liked the diversity. The men are really powerful, and the women very soft and beautiful. I liked the performance 'Water Sleeves' very much.
"I would definitely recommend people to see this show. It's the last performance in The Hague, otherwise I would tell everyone."
