Sutra
Caught "Sutra" at the Esplanade this afternoon. Thank goodness they decided to extend the show for another day.
managed to get two tics. had originally intended to get the Chiobu to go with me but alas... it was not meant to be
thankfully, found Law to watch it with me so the extra ticket didnt go to waste (I hope.. haha)
it was a splendid performance that combined the grace and power of the Shaolin monks and 武术 with a "western" (I use this term loosely) choreography. The music was very well composed and the clever use of boxes / "coffins" to set up the various scenes made the show an enjoyable and magical one.
I am not quite sure how to describe the show really. parts of it felt dark and brooding while some parts were light and explosive. there was also a "zen" / "buddhist" undertone to it which was unique. anyways glad I managed to get to watch. and of course, I am held in awe by the agility of the monks. wondering when I am able to execute those movements seen. the "handless" cartwheels, high back flips, flying kicks etc.
damn! makes me want to spend a year at the temple just to train the body and the mind.
