A lost civilisation - revived Art carries the very essence of a civilisation, and can bring the brilliance and wisdom of a lost culture back to life. 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. This epic production immerses you in stories from the most distant past, through to inspiring stories of the modern day, exploring realms beyond our visible world. Featuring one of the world's oldest art forms - classical Chinese dance - along with patented scenographical effects and all-original orchestral works, Shen Yun opens a portal to a civilisation of enchanting beauty and enlightening wisdom. Traditional Chinese culture - with its profoundly optimistic worldview and deep spiritual roots - was displaced by communism in China. Today, only the New York-based Shen Yun is keeping this precious heritage alive on stage. And it's an experience that will take your breath away! 'One's expectations are blown out of the water. The Shen Yun dancers seem to defy gravity.' Australian Stage 'Entertainment of the highest order ... an exemplary display of excellence.' Stage Whispers
