| Description |
Bursting with high-octane kung-fu, yet filled with Zen contemplation, the breathtaking production of Sutra is at once a kinetic spectacle and a profound essay on wisdom. Shaolin monks from the eminent temple in Henan, China, encounter celebrated Belgian choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, in a physical dialogue that engages seemingly opposite worlds, cultures and energies. Set to the stirring score by Polish composer: Szymon Brzoska and the inventive box set by Turner Prize sculptor Antony Gormley, Sutra is a superb wedding of body, mind and soul. A work of total art. |
