Shen Yun Returning to Lincoln Center

There was a time when emperors ruled dynasties, heroes became legends, and the world was full of magic and miracles. What if we could take you back to that time?

This January at Lincoln Center, Shen Yun brings this lost world to life with unrivaled mastery. This one-of-a-kind performance revives stories and legends from five millennia of Chinese culture. With the richly expressive art of classical Chinese dance, groundbreaking musical compositions, and cutting-edge, interactive stage effects, Shen Yun is leaving millions around the world in awe.

An Unforgettable Adventure

In ancient times, China was known as the Land of the Divine. Everyone, from the emperors to the common people, believed that their culture was a divine gift. They lived in harmony with the universe and saw a connection among all things. This culture carried on for thousands of years-until it was lost.

To make the journey possible, Shen Yun pioneered new frontiers in the world of performing arts. This production combines ancient dance with technological innovations, and historically authentic costumes with breathtaking animated backdrops. Filled with an enchanting orchestral sound and the beautifully diverse worlds of ethnic and folk traditions, it is a stunning visual and emotional experience you won't find anywhere else.

Mischief, Monks, and Miracles.

Everyone likes a good story. And Chinese culture has 5,000 years of them. Folk tales, legends, and timeless classics make up this magical world of immortals and heroes. Shen Yun does its storytelling through classical Chinese dance-with its distinct elegance, vividness, and athleticism, it is the perfect medium for bringing these stories to life. And the dancers' seamless interaction with the dynamic backdrops transports you to another world.

Soothing and Captivating

Shen Yun Orchestra's unique compositional approach blends the singular beauty and expressiveness of Chinese instruments with the grandeur of a Western orchestra. The result is a gorgeous and vivid sound-perfect for bringing to life the soul of an ancient civilization.

Rediscovered Treasure-That Beijing Does Not Want You to See

You cannot see the authentic Chinese culture that Shen Yun presents anywhere else. Not in another show. Not even in China. Why? The ruling Communist Party regime in China views this culture as a threat to its power and, for decades, has tried to destroy it. It nearly succeeded. But 10 years ago, a group of elite Chinese artists in New York decided to change that. They created Shen Yun and have brought this traditional culture back from the brink of extinction. Shen Yun cannot perform in China today, but it is now celebrating this heritage around the world. In fact, people fly from China specially to see Shen Yun.

This January, we invite you to enter the gates of a lost civilization. Five performances only, Jan. 14-17, 2016. David H. Koch Theater, Lincoln Center, 20 Lincoln Center Plaza New York, NY 10023.

Tickets range from $80 to $300, and are available at www.ShenYun.com/NYC.
