Shen Yun Performing Arts arrived in Auckland on Wednesday, 14 February 2018, a visit that many New Zealanders have awaited with excitement and anticipation. With three days to prepare for their first performance at Auckland’s Aotea Centre on Saturday 17, the company can momentarily breathe after wowing audiences in Australia with full house and sold out performances.
“This is an energetic and passionate representation of life of people in the past … It transcends the cultural barriers that we often have between us and it’s a very relatable form of telling a story.”
In Auckland, Shen Yun Performing Arts will bring sunlight to a city that has experienced more than its share of rain in recent weeks. The company has received greetings from the following New Zealand members of parliament.
