Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Antony Gormley with monks from the Shaolin Temple — Sutra
26 - 28 Mar
Archived ShowSadler's Wells
Rosebery Avenue, London, EC1R
This award-winning collaboration between choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, sculptor Antony Gormley and 19 Buddhist monks from the Shaolin Temple in China is one of Sadler’s Wells’ longest running and most exhilarating productions, now returning to London to celebrate its tenth anniversary.
With Antony Gormley’s striking set of 21 wooden boxes and Polish composer Szymon Brzóska’s specially commissioned score performed live, Sutra is a breath-taking spectacle of athleticism that explores the philosophy and faith behind the Shaolin tradition and its relationship with kung fu within a contemporary context.
