Shen Yun, which means “the beauty of divine beings dancing,” has been playing in Vancouver since 2006 and has become one of the city’s most beloved and anticipated entertainment spectacles.

Shen Yun was founded by a group of leading Chinese dancers, choreographers, and musicians in the United States who endeavoured to foster cultural renewal by reviving the authentic artistic traditions of China’s rich 5,000-year history.

Its performances portray the essence of Chinese arts and culture which are marked by a devotion to virtue, kindness, loyalty, good character, and a reverence toward the divine.

Shen Yun features performances in classical Chinese dance, ethnic dances, and vocal soloists, all accompanied by a live orchestra that combines traditional Western and Chinese instruments. Vividly animated backdrops extend the stage, transporting audiences to another place and time.

Shen Yun’s tour of Canada in 2023 drew many appreciative comments from audience members.

“On the aesthetic level, it was such a feast for the eyes how you had not only the dance, but you also had the music. You had the singing, and I have to say, as a part-time dancer, the movements were so fluid,” said Maria Marchyshyn, a political analyst who attended the show at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto.

“It was just done so, so professionally that I was simply immersed—I was completely immersed in this wonderful experience. It was a very educational experience. It was a very cultural experience, but it [also] really touched me on different levels, mind, body and soul.”

Brad Brain, the owner of a financial planning company who saw the show at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, described it as “a world-class performance.”

“I knew the dancing and the athleticism would be amazing, and it was—but what impressed me was that everything was perfect. It was totally in sync,” he said.

Flora Karas, an actress and business owner who also saw the performance at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, said she experienced it on a deep level.

“The show is so filled with light. It’s exactly what this city needed. We needed to hear the story. We needed to see the dancing. We needed to feel it in our bones. It’s absolutely the best thing that we could have had,” she said.

“It’s impeccable.”

Shen Yun has eight companies, each with its own orchestra, that tour simultaneously across five continents every year.

Shen Yun will play seven shows at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver from March 20–25, 2024.
