Pushing the Boundaries of Art

Shen Yun’s unique artistic vision expands theatrical experience into a multi-dimensional, deeply moving journey through one of humanity’s greatest treasures—the five millennia of traditional Chinese culture.

This epic production immerses you in stories reaching back to the most distant past. You’ll explore realms even beyond our visible world. Featuring one of the world’s oldest art forms—classical Chinese dance—along with patented scenographical effects and all-original orchestral works, Shen Yun opens a portal to a glorious civilization of unrivaled beauty, artistry, and inspiration. Enter a world where philosophers and poets alike sought harmony with the Dao, or “Way,” of the universe. Where maidens danced with ethereal grace and generals fought with explosive athleticism. Where timeless tales of valor and virtue were born. Where heaven and earth intersected, and even magic was possible. Traditional Chinese culture—with its profoundly optimistic worldview and deep spiritual roots—was displaced by communism in China. Today, only the New York-based Shen Yun is keeping this precious heritage alive on stage. And it’s an experience that will take your breath away.

“Really out of this world! There is no word to describe it... If I had to, the words might be

‘divine,’ ‘reborn’ and ‘hope’.” —Christine Walevska, world-renowned cellist “It was an extraordinary experience... the level of skill, but also the power of the archetypes and the narratives were startling. And of course it was exquisitely beautiful.” —Cate Blanchett, Academy Award-winning Actress “The 8th wonder of the world. People have no idea what they’re missing until they come here and see the show...” —Joe Heard, former White House photographer, saw Shen Yun 6 times “A great job bringing together the history of Chinese culture. The sound effects, the visual effects, the special effects -it’s just amazing.” —Amerigo Fabbri, former dean of Pierson College, Yale University
