Shen Yun 2025 at Buell Theatre

It’s a breath-taking extravaganza that delights the senses and inspires the heart. It’s a first-hand glimpse into a profound cultural and spiritual heritage that resonates with audiences from all walks of life. It’s a feast of intricate costumes, color, dynamic backdrops, and dancing that will have you at the edge of your seat, dazzled and wowed. It’s something much bigger than just artistry delivered with finesse; it’s stunning music fusing Eastern and Western instruments with one purpose; it’s Chinese classical dance in its purest form.

It's Shen Yun, and it is so exquisitely beautiful to behold that no words can encapsulate the experience.

Shen Yun Performing Arts, situated in New York, was founded in 2006 by practitioners of the Falun Gong new religious movement, with the goal to showcase “traditional Chinese culture as it once was: a study in grace, wisdom, and virtues distilled from five millennia of Chinese civilization."

The troupe comprises approximately 480 performers, subdivided into eight large performing and touring ensembles. Shen Yun regularly travels the world and, so far, has performed in over 200 cities across Europe, North America, Oceania, and Asia. Performances such as these, however, cannot be experienced in China itself.

Dancing is at the heart of Shen Yun, with the extensive use of acrobatics and tumbling techniques that promise to leave the audience at the edge of their seats, and forms and postures that are spectacular to behold. The repertoire draws heavily from ancient and legendary Chinese tales such as the legend of Mulan, ‘Journey to the West’, and ‘Outlaws of the Marsh’, accompanied by a unique orchestra, fusing Western classical instruments with Eastern instruments such as the pipa, suona, dizi, and guzheng, as well as a variety of traditional Chinese percussion instruments.

The Buell Theatre, located in the Denver Performing Arts Complex, regularly hosts world-renowned acts on its spectacular stage – from Broadway productions to music shows, from dancing to solo artists. The venue boasts seating for up to 2,839 patrons spread across three levels: the orchestra floor, mezzanine, and balcony. Thanks to the Buell Theatre’s spectacular stage technologies, superb acoustics, and impeccable sightlines, every seat is a good seat!
