In Wellington 8-9 April and Auckland 11-12 April  Shen Yun will transport you to another world.

For thousands of years, Chinese artists cultivated virtue, believing that to create true art worthy of the heavens, there must first be inner purity. Today, Shen Yun’s artists follow this noble tradition. The result is a performance of consummate beauty, purity, and goodness.

Through the universal language of music and dance, Shen Yun weaves a wondrous tapestry of heavenly realms, ancient legends, and modern heroic tales. Its stunning beauty and tremendous energy leave audiences uplifted and inspired.

The inner charisma displayed by the dancers on stage is not only determined by dance technique, more importantly, it is driven by the performer's inner cultivation, level of knowledge, character, virtue and personal experience. To a performer, these are the sources and motivation for creation and expression.

An Explosion of Colour & Sound

Profound, sublime, inspiring has been the unequivocal response to Shen Yun performances. It is traditional Chinese culture as it was meant to be — a study in grace, fluidity, balance, and inner strength. The vigorous drums of the 7th century Tang court will quicken your pulse, while the pastoral charm of inner Mongolian dance will delight your soul.

Once again the Shen Yun orchestra which features both Chinese and Western instruments, will treat the audience to an innovative and splendid blend of musical virtuosity.

Shen Yun has become an international phenomenon, bringing the wonders of the Chinese culture to millions across the globe. With its uplifting, enriching experience it has charmed and delighted people of all ages, Western and Asian alike.
