THE ARTS CONNECT HEAVEN & EARTH

here was a time when the world was full of magic and splendor, and all on Earth existed in harmony with Heaven. You could see it in the arts, feel it in the air, and hear it in the beat of a drum. This was a land of fairies and sages, dragons and phoenixes, emperors and immortals. Known today as China, this place was once called “the Land of the Divine.” What if you could journey back and visit this lost paradise?

Shen Yun brings the profound spirit of this lost civilization to life on stage with unrivaled artistic mastery. Every dance movement, every musical note, makes this a stunning visual and emotional experience you won’t find anywhere else. Banned in communist China today, the non-profit Shen Yun is dedicated to reviving 5,000 years of civilization. Experience the Arts Connecting Heaven & Earth! Experience Shen Yun!

“ Mind-blowing! Go back and see six times!” —Richard Connema, renowned Broadway critic

“If heaven is the way we saw it tonight, count me in!”

“This is the ultimate performance. I felt like I was in heaven. This really is a performance for the very fortunate.”

“My heart was open and I started to cry. The spirit of hope, beauty, and blessing... It’s a fabulous gift to us.”

“Go see it to believe it, because otherwise, you are going to miss the most important thing in your life.”

—Nathaniel Kahn, renowned filmmaker

—Ms. Choi Yun ka, Korean President Award winning artist

— Sine McKenna, award-winning Celtic singer

—Joe Heard, former White House photographer, watched Shen Yun 5 times
