Definition
演出 (yǎnchū) is a verb meaning 'to perform, to put on (a performance)' — it focuses on the event or show as a whole, often with an audience and a stage. Compared to 表演 (biǎoyǎn), which is the general word for any kind of performing (acting, demonstrating a skill), 演出 emphasizes the formal production or show itself. 演 (yǎn) is a shorter, more general verb for 'to act' in a play or movie, while 演出 is more specific to staging a performance.
