A Mission Rooted in Tradition
Since its inception in New York’s Hudson River Valley in 2006, Shen Yun has grown to become the fastest-growing performing arts company in American history. The production was born from a mission to revive the rich cultural heritage of China—an artistic legacy that spans 5,000 years and was nearly destroyed under modern political constraints.
Shen Yun’s creators and performers, many of whom faced great personal risk to join the project, sought freedom to express traditional values and stories through art. Today, the company has multiple touring ensembles, performing in over 200 cities and 36 countries each year, including extended tours in the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, and beyond.
The performance’s tagline, “China before communism,” reflects the production’s focus on reconnecting audiences with timeless virtues such as loyalty, compassion, and integrity, which are woven into the stories and legends presented on stage.
