POEM OF KUNGFU⋯Nine Scrolls will be seen at Star Theatre for a limited season opening on Thursday 23 October.
POEM OF KUNGFU will be directed by well-known Chinese Body Art Master Liu Zhen who explains: “We have chosen to call this POEM OF KUNGFU⋯Nine Scrolls because poetry is like Kung Fu⋯it can be abstract and real at the same time. The Nine Scrolls (Purity, Sutra, Diligence, Intelligence, Listening, Shape, Calmness, Devotion, Paradise) are presented like a poem of prose taking the audience on a journey through joy, sadness, anger, euphoria; one moment mystical, full of grace and whimsy, the next powerful and dramatic.”
Life’s daily rituals, such as the simple act of drinking a bowl of soup are transformed into a magical experience that will have audiences laughing one moment and gasping the next as they witness the masterful choreography and daring exploits of these highly skilled performers.
