For thousands of years, China was known as the Divine Land. The ancients believed that their rich culture was a gift from the heavens. It emphasized harmony between heaven and earth, and virtues like integrity, compassion, and tolerance... Tragically, this glorious heritage has been largely destroyed under the 60-plus years of communist rule in China. That is why you cannot see a performance like this in China today. In 2006, a group of leading Chinese artists came together with a wish to revive authentic Chinese culture and share it with the world. Based in New York, they formed Shen Yun Performing Arts. The Performance Shen Yun brings to life 5,000 years of civilization in an exhilarating production of classical Chinese dance and music. The performance moves quickly through China?s vast regions, dynasties, and eras, from antiquity to modern day. Inspiring stories and animated backdrops transport the audience to another world. Exquisite costumes, thunderous battle drums, and powerful flips fill the stage with color and energy. Timeless ethnic and folk dances, a unique East-West orchestra, and singers? soaring voices converge in a wondrous journey through five millennia of authentic Chinese culture.
