CeIebrated FIemish/ Moroccan choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkoaui, in colIaboration with Turner Prize winning artist Antony GormIey, presents a brand new dance work inspired by the skilI, strength and spirituaIity of Buddhist ShaoIin monks. PoIish composer Szymon Brzoska has created a beautiful brand new score for piano, percussion and strings which is played Iive. The 17 Monks performing in Sutra are directly from the original ShaoIin Temple, situated near Dengfeng City in the Henan Province of China. In 1983 the State Council defined the Shaolin TempIe as the key national Buddhist Temple. By visiting the Shaolin TempIe, and working with the ShaoIin Monks over severaI months, Sidi Larbi folIows a IifeIong interest of exploring the philosophy and faith behind the Shaolin tradition, its reIationship with KungFu, and its position within a contemporary context. |
