Celebrate the rebirth of a grand civilization! This spring, a rare opportunity to travel back in time to the magical world of ancient China is coming to Vancouver, and you can get a front-row seat to the breath-taking experience.
New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts is a theatrical experience like no other. Through a variety of art forms, the performance depicts China before communism, displaying the pageantry of different dynasties.
Tickets are now available for six shows at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre April 8 to 12. This enthralling performance will make you laugh, cry and find renewed hope. When Shen Yun played in Vancouver in 2025, audiences travelled from as far away as Kamloops and other areas of B.C. to see this one-of-a-kind show.

A window to China’s rich culture
Each year, Shen Yun produces an all-new show, with new story-dances, music, choreography, costumes and more. When you see a Shen Yun show, you’ll enjoy a profound spiritual and cultural creation whose centrepiece is classical Chinese dance, an ancient art form.
Classical Chinese dance: With its flips and tumbles, acrobatics and graceful artistry, classical Chinese dance has incredible expressive power.
Hand-tailored costumes: Chinese history is replete with a lavish variety of apparel, and Shen Yun’s handmade costumes display the grandeur of this heritage.
State-of-the-art digital backdrop: Using Shen Yun’s own patented technology, the digital backdrop interacts with the dancers and storyline, transporting audiences in unexpected ways.
Live orchestra: Combining Chinese instruments with a full Western orchestra, the Shen Yun musicians play an original score composed specifically for the performance.
