Belgian-Moroccan choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui presents a new work inspired by the skill, strength, and spirituality of China’s Buddhist Shaolin monks. Cherkaoui spent several months at the Shaolin Temple in China’s Henan Province, exploring the faith behind the Shaolin tradition and its relationship with kung fu and modern dance forms. His production features 17 Shaolin monks; a striking, ever-changing set of 21 wooden boxes created by groundbreaking British sculptor Antony Gormley (whose work was recently featured in Madison Square Park); and a live performance of a new score by Polish composer Szymon Brzóska.
