Performed by 17 monks from the original Shaolin Temple in China, created by celebrated choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Sutra is a fascinating exploration of the philosophy and faith behind the Shaolin tradition and its relationship with Kung-Fu.

Turner Prize-winning artist Antony Gormley has created a striking design of 21 wooden boxes that shift and evolve, while composer Szymon Brzoska’s beautiful score for piano, percussion and strings is played live by on-stage musicians.

The Shaolin monks will also be running Kung Fu workshops as part of the International Dance Festival Birmingham – find out more.
