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. We invite you to a realm 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.

“The spirit of hope, beauty and the blessing is a fabulous gift to us. I want to go again! I have to bring as many people as I can.” —Sine McKenna, award-winning singer

“I have traveled all over the world to 50 countries now...I have never seen a production any better than this, anywhere! It’s worth multiple times of the cost of the ticket. It is priceless!” —Dr. Scott Stansfield, retired naturopath­ic physician

“This show gave me a real sense of goodness and meaning in life.” —Anna Liceica, former soloist with American Ballet Theatre

“The 8th wonder of the world! This is the greatest thing I have ever seen on the stage! Go see it to believe it, because otherwise, you’re going to miss the most important thing in your life.” —Joe Heard, former White House photograph­er

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.
