Sutra

Performed by 17 monks from the original Shaolin Temple in China, with dancer Ali Thabet in the role originally performed by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Sutra is a fascinating exploration of the philosophy and faith behind the Shaolin tradition, its relationship with Kung-Fu, and its position within a contemporary context. With a striking set design consisting of 21 wooden boxes by Turner prize-winning artist Antony Gormley and a beautiful score by Polish composer Szymon Brzóska, which is played live, Sutra has delighted audiences and critics alike, both at its Sadler's Wells world premiere in 2008 and on tour around the world.
