Chinese Regime Pressure Suspected Behind Shen Yun Show Cancellation in Spain

Updated:
Just weeks before New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts is scheduled to perform at one of Spain’s major opera houses, the organizers were told that their show was “forced to [be] canceled” due to technical difficulties. But the organizers do not think this is the case.

Royal Theater’s director sent a letter on Jan. 7 to Puro Arte Humano—the organizers of Shen Yun in Spain–informing them the performance has been canceled citing “unavoidable artistic needs of the stage space.” Shen Yun was set to perform at the Madrid theater on Jan. 31 and Feb. 2.
