It’s the show the world loves and Beijing fears.
Founded in 2006 by elite Chinese artists who fled persecution, the New York-based Shen Yun is dedicated to reviving the beauty and virtues of China before communism.
Using classical Chinese, folk, and ethnic dances, as well as solo musical performances, Shen Yun takes the audience through China’s dynasties and legends, while also raising awareness for the ongoing human rights challenges in present-day China.
Many Shen Yun performers practice Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, a peaceful meditation exercise that has been heavily persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since 1999.
