Last season, Shen Yun’s five companies performed 495 shows in 142 cities in 19 countries. |
|
During the program, our audience visited nine Chinese provinces and traveled thousands of years back in time (excluding prehistory). Along the way, they met a motley of characters including 12 monks, 18 Taoists, 67 celestial maidens, 7 monkeys, one legendary sage, and one flying pig. |
|
Each performance showcased 391 costumes, 227 props, and 331 hairpieces, all made by hand. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, each dancer quick-changed at least 7 times, cheered on a fellow performer over 50 times, and reveled in 270 seconds of applause. |
