Experience China Before Communism

When the curtain rises, you step into a realm of celestial wonder.

Shen Yun – the beauty of divine beings dancing – takes you on an extraordinary journey through China’s 5,000 years of magnificent culture.

Exquisite beauty from the heavens, profound wisdom from dynasties past, timeless legends and ethnic traditions all spring to life through classical Chinese dance, a live East–West orchestra, exquisite costumes and patented animated backdrops that transport you to another world. Each scene unfolds like a vivid painting, filled with breathtaking colour, clarity and emotion.

Revisit a time when scholars and artists sought harmony with the Tao, and when divine beings walked the earth to inspire humanity. Join us for a night filled with beauty, wisdom, courage and hope. Witness Heaven’s beauty on stage and experience the magic of Shen Yun – live.

Every year Shen Yun premieres an all-new show, so just because you’ve seen it once, doesn’t mean you’ve seen it all!
