Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to seeing you soon at Meany.


A Sadler's Wells and Shaolin Temple Presentation 

Visual Creation and Design: Antony Gormley
Music: Szymon Brzóska

Sutra, the award-winning collaboration between choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, sculptor Antony Gormley and 19 Buddhist monks from the Shaolin Temple in China, is a breathtaking spectacle of athleticism that explores the philosophy and faith behind the Shaolin tradition and its relationship with kung-fu within a contemporary context. With Antony Gormley’s striking set of 21 wooden boxes and Polish composer Szymon Brzóska’s specially commissioned score performed live, Sutra is an incomparable work that has captured the hearts and imaginations of people the world over, as one of the stage’s most sophisticated productions and a true work of art.
