Shen Yun Performing Arts at Wang Theatre

Shen Yun is composed of seven performing arts companies. Shen Yun was founded in 2006 and is a non-profit performing arts and entertainment company, based in the United States. It tours internationally, producing traditional and acrobatic dance performances and symphony concerts. With a total of approximately 480 performers, Shen Yun has since 2010, performed in front of 10 million people and has toured more than 130 cities world-wide. Each touring company perform mainly classical and traditional dances, making extensive use of acrobatic and tumbling techniques. Each company consists of about 40 male and female dancers.

The stated purpose of the company was to revive Chinese culture and traditions from the time before Communist rule. Controversially, the 2018 and 2019 performances have unfortunately included lyrics and digital displays receiving audience and critic criticism for promoting sectarian doctrines and negative views toward evolution, atheism, and homosexuality. Many viewers and reviewers complained that the misrepresentation of the advertising was a show that in the end "feels more like propaganda than straightforwardly presented cultural heritage. However, that may have changed since their revival after covid. The Shen Yun has been banned from performing in China by the Chinese government and considers the group to be an "anti-society cult".
