Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui & Antony Gormley with monks from the Shaolin Temple

One of Sadler’s Wells’ most exhilarating productions, “Sutra” has toured around the world and played to sell-out audiences as far afield as Singapore, New Zealand, Mexico, and the US. Seen by over 160,000 people worldwide in 60 cities across 28 countries, this critically acclaimed collaboration between choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Turner Prize-winning sculptor Antony Gormley and 19 Buddhist monks from the Shaolin Temple in China is an incredible spectacle of athleticism, exploring the philosophy and faith behind the Shaolin tradition and its relationship with Kung Fu within a contemporary context.
