Shen Yun

  • Family and kids
  • Theatre

The classical Chinese dance company Shen Yun brings to life a lost culture through beautiful art, dance pieces and a live orchestra.

The gong resounds, the curtain opens, and a heavenly scene is right before your eyes. Fairies emerge from a sea of billowing clouds. Mongolians ride on horseback across grasslands as vast as the sky. Classic stories of love and loss, of humour and heroic deeds, come to life.

Shen Yun is an artistic revival and celebration of China’s rich, vibrant and exciting cultural heritage.
