Shaolin Monks Come to London in an Unmissable Performance!

// March 26th, 2010 // b-scene // b-uncut

A taste of Buddhist culture comes to London in a poetic, spectacular and unbelievably cool performance at the Sadler’s Wells Theatre! Antony Gormley, celebrated artist, collaborates with the Flemish/Moroccan choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui to present this amazing performance from seventeen Shaolin Monks!

Are these Monks dangerous? Yes. They are among the most skilled warriors in contemporary culture. This dance highlights the immensely trained strength, discipline and spirituality of these men. The capability they have with their bodies, well, you can’t believe it until you see it. Gormley has echoed the purity of this performance with his almost invisible but enabling set design. If it’s his name that gets you there (frankly, it was for us)…if not…go see this performance. You will be blown away. Just check this out:
