Now on tour, the show "Kungfu Revelations: Nine scrolls1" is making a stop at Beijing’s Poly Theatre. The show is a vivid portrayal2 of the philosophies of Chinese culture in the form of martial3 arts.

The Yin meets the Yang, as esoteric Chinese philosophy becomes embodied4 in the martial arts.

The marriage of Chinese philosophy and Kungfu creates a new language of movement, unlocking ancient wisdom for modern audiences.

Yu Yang, President of Poly Artist Management Co., Ltd, said, "Kungfu is transformed into poetry by the infusion5 of Chinese philosophy. We think the synergy of Kungfu and culture takes the show far beyond a mere7 Kungfu stunt8."

 

Now on tour, the show "Kungfu Revelations: Nine scrolls" is making a stop at Beijing’s Poly Theatre.

 

One of the highlights of the show is 11-year-old performer Sun Wenlei. His Kungfu skills and sense of drama shock the audience.

"I play a little boy who breaks the rules and plays around in the monastery9 like this...(shows off moves)" Performer Sun Wenlei said.

To the relief of parents, most children’s playtime routine isn’t like this.

The show is divided into 9 parts and includes themes audiences can relate to. It strikes to the very core of man’s spiritual struggle, which is that we are all on a journey for completeness, peace and purity.

"I really like our native culture, this show is actually quite challenging for me and guides me into the depths of Chinese culture, I love this artistic10 portrayal. "

There are moments of beauty and serenity11...and yet the show has outbursts of power and agility12.

It is this unique fusion6 that has won applause from packed houses around the world, and earned it the "skits13" trophy14 at the Israel International Arts festival in 2012.

This stage is the very place the show premiered in 2008, and now after half a decade of success, the show is making a strategic move for the future.
