Shen Yun Performing Arts will present a series of shows at the Living Arts Centre from Jan. 22-23Expect a smorgasbord of colourful visuals and eye-popping performances when a Chinese dance and music company brings an expansive live show to the Living Arts Centre later this month.
Shen Yun Performing Arts will present three shows on Jan. 22-23 in Hammerson Hall as part of the group's worldwide tour. Tickets are currently on sale.
Performers resplendent in colourful costumes will present examples of classical Chinese dance, ethnic and folk dances and story-based dances. According to the show's website, the audience can expect "grand imperial processions to legions of thunderous drums with gorgeously costumed dancers moving in stunning synchronized patterns."
The folk dances will showcase the many ethnic groups living near and within China. Expect to see dances from "the plains of Tibet, the shores of a Dai village or the sprawling plains of Mongolia."
The stories told through dance "embody the most exalted virtues of Chinese civilization and convey a message or moral that is still relevant today."
The music will be provided by the Shen Yun Performing Arts Orchestra, using both traditional Chinese and Western instruments. The 40-plus member band will be accompanied singers and solo instrumentalists.
Adding to the overall visual package are the backdrops, many of which are animated. The costumes worn by the performers are both traditional and contemporary.
"We're thrilled to be able to bring such a high-calibre show here," said organizer Michael Cui.
Tickets cost $35-$120
