The ambitious production tries to bridge its view of contemporary Chinese culture with ancient Chinese traditions and values \u2013 while at the same time making this history relevant to western audiences. Much of this 5,000-year history is told through the universal \u201clanguages\u201d of music and dance.<\/p>\n<p>The two-hour show comprises 20 short classical Chinese dance selections set to an original score. Each choreographed piece is based on traditional Chinese folk tales, myths, and other stories.<\/p>\n<p>Considered among the top classical Chinese performances in the world, Shen Yun was actually created in 2006 by a group of Chinese dancers and musicians in New York. Since then, Shen Yun \u2013 which means \u201cdivine\u201d \u2013 has toured dozens of countries but has been modified often over the last five years to keep it fresh and new for audiences who saw earlier incarnations of the show.<\/p>\n<p>Shen Yun will be performed in the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center, Wednesday, Jan. 11 through Sunday, Jan. 15, 2012. Ticket prices begin at $80.
