About the Performance

A Sadler’s Wells Production (London)
Sutra

In the daring and dramatic Sutra, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui – the Flemish-Moroccan dance phenomenon in worldwide demand – collaborates with designer Antony Gormley and composer Szymon Brzóska (whose score is played live). Larbi performs here with 17 Buddhist warrior monks from China’s Shaolin Temple. Agile experts at martial arts, the monks display certainty and control, strength and spirituality – and maniacally dangerous and beautiful physical moves. Sutra seamlessly combines faith and philosophy, Kung Fu, music, design, Eastern ritual and Western contemporary dance into a dynamic and symbolic display of grace and power.

"Sutra ... exceeds even our highest expectations ... a dazzling alliance of space and content. Buddhist warrior monks’ ... mind and body are joined in transcendent vibrancy. Their grace, strength and bravery are awesome, the speed and ferocity of their punches, kicks, back flips and flying jumps astounding." Debra Crain, The Times (London), May 30, 2008
