Shen Yun – China Before Communism
What: Classical Chinese dance
Where: Four Seasons Centre, 145 Queen St. W.
When: Sat., March 30 – Sun., April 7
Why you should go: The power, wealth and spiritualism of pre-Communist China are at the forefront of this musical, theatrical and dance showcase. Acts depict traditions, legends and cultures that are linked into a historical narrative that tells the story of the region. At times, especially in the dramatic re-enactments, Shen Yun may push the truth in an attempt to deliver political/religious propaganda. However, the performers are skilled and exuberant enough to overshadow the downsides; this is a rare opportunity to experience the artistry of ancient Chinese culture.
