Discover The Mystery and Beauty of China Before Communism.  Shen Yun’s unique artistic vision expands theatrical experience into a multi- dimensional, inspiring journey through one of humanity’s greatest treasures- the five millennia of traditional Chinese culture. Along with dynamic animated backdrops and all-original orchestral works, Shen Yun opens a portal to a civilization of enchanting beauty and enlightening wisdom. Shen Yun Performing Arts is a nonprofit organization based in New York. Its mission is to revive 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture. Traditional Chinese culture—with its deep spiritual roots and profoundly optimistic worldview—was displaced by communism in China. While Shen Yun cannot perform in China today, it is sharing this precious heritage with the world.
