Sutra - Birmingham Hippodrome (07/05/2013)

'Sutra' is unlike anything I have ever seen before. I haven't been to many Dance productions, so I was intrigued as to what it was going to be like.

The production features real life Monks from the Shaolin Temple. It crosses Contemporary dance with martial arts and acrobatics, which makes it an incredibly interesting piece. Personally, I couldn't quite grasp any sense of story, but it had themes of freedom and isolation.

I'm not highly educated when it comes to dance, but I was definitely left in awe of the performers on stage. The whole company were incredibly talented and some of the skills they hold are unbelievable.
