25 years of Masters of Shaolin Kung Fu - the anniversary show
More than 1500 years ago, traditional Chinese Kung Fu was only practiced by the Chinese population. It was particularly widespread in the provinces of Shandong, Henan and Hebei. Among these Kung Fu fighters were many famous grandmasters who made it their goal to help the needy, protect the good and punish criminals. As a result, many villains and criminals were defeated and killed in battle by the kung fu masters. In order to escape the harsh punishments of the government for their actions, many of these Kung Fu fighters fled to the world of the Buddhist monks, free and independent of worldly problems.
The Shaolin Temple, which was subsequently built in Henan Province, took in many of these fugitive and homeless fighters. In this way, traditional Chinese kung fu was introduced into the world of Buddhism and the high art of Shaolin kung fu was born. This unique combination of martial arts and spiritual practice formed a discipline that is still admired worldwide today.
The original production from China, Masters of Shaolin Kung Fu, tells this story in a breathtaking, completely new stage show at the highest level. Traditional Shaolin Kung Fu paired with entertainment, perfect choreography and impressive, authentic backdrops. The Masters of Shaolin Kung Fu take the audience on a fascinating two-hour journey into the incredible world of this millennia-old martial art.
