Shen Yun (Norfolk)
April 23 @ 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Shen Yun: Take an enlightening journey through 5,000 years!
SHEN YUN’S unique artistic vision expands theatrical experience into a multidimensional, inspiring journey through one of humanity’s greatest treasures—the five millennia of traditional Chinese culture.
This epic production immerses you in stories reaching back to the most distant past. You’ll explore realms even beyond our visible world. Featuring one of the world’s oldest art forms— classical Chinese dance—along with patented scenographic effects and all-original orchestral works, Shen Yun opens a portal to a civilization 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.
“Absolutely the NO. 1 SHOW in the world—no other company or of any style can match this.” —Kenn Wells, former lead dancer of the English National Ballet
“Exquisitely beautiful. An extraordinary experience for us and the children.” — Cate Blanchett, Academy Award–winning actress
