Sutra
Title: Sutra
Location: Playhouse, QPAC, Brisbane
Description: Brisbane Festival 2010 Presents – Sutra
Sidi Larbi Cherkauoi’s breathtaking contemporary movement piece, Sutra, will be showcased at Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) from September 8 to September 11 as part of Brisbane Festival 2010.
Combining faith, imagination and stunning acrobatics, this awe-inspiring spiritual exploration is based on the rituals and traditions of Buddhist Shaolin monks.
With a stark, evolving stage design of simple wooden boxes, manipulated with athletic and artistic perfection by 17 Warrior Monks of the Shaolin Temple alongside Cherkaoui, Sutra is visually both striking and serene.
Cherkaoui is a leading light of European choreography and dance, creating productions that are storybooks in motion, using dance as a language which combines the best of diverse styles and traditions to form a surprising new whole.
Since its first sell-out London performance at Sadler’s Wells in May 2008, Sutra has received worldwide acclaim from audiences and critics alike.
Don’t miss the chance to experience this physical and spiritual phenomenon for yourself during Brisbane Festival 2010.
