Shen Yun is a well-known classical Chinese dance company that travels the world with an orchestra. Its performances include Shaolin monks, solitary Taoists, and celestial women who dance in perfect unison. Along with exploring ancient Chinese culture, Shen Yun often includes contemporary vignettes of the Chinese people’s struggle for freedom of belief under communist rule today. Its website says that Shen Yun’s artists “draw inspiration from the spiritual discipline Falun Dafa,” which is persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party. Communist Party representatives often hound Shen Yun where its performances are scheduled around the world, varying their tactics depending on the country. Direct representations to theaters in the United States are often ineffective, but in some European countries Chinese diplomats have succeeded in forcing the cancellation of Shen Yun performances, due to political pressure. One of the emcees with Shen Yun, Leeshai Lemish, maintains an extensive list of such incidents on the blog “Who’s Afraid of Shen Yun?” Common cases include consular officials threatening theaters, or sending angry letters to local politicians. In some cases, consular officials made repeated threatening phone calls to theaters in an attempt to have them cancel the performances. Carlos Iglesias, a human rights lawyer and representative of the hosting organization, the Falun Dafa Association in Spain, said in an interview, “It is regrettable that the Chinese Communist Party tries to decide what shows can be seen or not seen by the citizens of a democratic country.” Shen Yun is performing at the National Theatre of Catalonia April 9-12.
