Dance Sutra
While the Ninja movie craze of the 80s is now behind us, the myth of how Bruce Lee suddenly died still lives on. Many believe that the monks from the Shaolin Temple killed him in revenge for revealing their secrets of Kung Fu to the rest of the world. Whether that’s true or not, this week sees the world premiere of Sutra a new dance production inspired by the Buddhist Shaolin Temple monks and as part of China Now gives you the unique opportunity to experience their culture first-hand. The choreographer of the production is Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui who is best known for his work on Zero Degrees in 2005 has been working with the monks in China for over a year and has choreographed movements which show the skill, strength and spirituality of the monks. If like me you have always been fascinated by martial arts and the strength and discipline it gives you, then Sutra will not disappoint you and will leave you with a greater admiration for the art. / Sophie Khan
