‘Shen Yun: Connecting<br />
Heaven & Earth’ to play<br />
in March, April<br />
There was a time when<br />
the world was full of magic<br />
and splendor, and all on<br />
Earth existed in harmony<br />
with Heaven. One could<br />
see it in the arts, feel it in<br />
the air, and hear it in the<br />
beat of a drum.<br />
This was a land of heroes<br />
and sages, dragons<br />
and phoenixes, emperors<br />
and immortals. Known<br />
today as China, this place<br />
was once called “the Land<br />
of the Divine.”<br />
What if one could journey<br />
back and visit this lost<br />
paradise?<br />
Shen Yun brings the<br />
profound spirit of this<br />
lost civilization to life on<br />
stage with unrivaled artistic<br />
mastery. Every dance<br />
movement, every musical<br />
note, makes this a stunning<br />
visual and emotional experience<br />
people will not find<br />
anywhere else. Banned in<br />
communist China today,<br />
the nonprofit Shen Yun<br />
is dedicated to reviving<br />
5,000 years of civilization.<br />
Audiences can experience<br />
art connecting Heaven<br />
and Earth! They can<br />
experience Shen Yun.<br />

tonight. Go back and see<br />

—Richard Connema, renowned<br />
Broadway critic<br />
