Who We Are

Welcome to Udumbara.org, a project I founded, Vovi, with a deep sense of respect for Shen Yun’s mission. We are a dedicated group of cultural enthusiasts, working with genuine effort to provide you with thoughtful and authentic reviews of Shen Yun’s performances. Our inspiration comes from Shen Yun’s noble goal—to revive China’s 5,000-year-old divinely inspired culture, a rich heritage that has been lost.

At Udumbara.org, we meticulously explore every aspect of the performances, from the intricate dance movements to the music that touches the heart, aiming to offer you an insightful and authentic glimpse into Shen Yun’s unique artistry. We invite you to join us in exploring the meaningful stories and cultural values that Shen Yun brings to life on stage.
