A representative for the group discusses the showcase, which is now available on GanJingWorld.com.
As the group prepares for its 2025 events, Falun Gong has provided an exclusive look at the Mid-Autumn Festival Technique Showcase for Shen Yun, the popular show that highlights Chinese culture and history.
Available exclusively on Ganjingworld.com, the 20-minute preview is free to check out, and well worth a look when it comes to what the show will offer in the months ahead.
Originally recorded at the Chinese mid-Autumn festival in New York City last month, the showcase shows a taste of what’s to come with the show. That includes providing a glimpse of wondrous movements by a number of talented artists and performers.
At a time when some – particularly the Chinese Communist Party – are criticizing the existence of the show, Shen Yun demonstrates all their wonderful talents on full display with this video.
A representative for the group joins us now to discuss its release further.
