International Arts Carnival 2025 Opening Programme:
Kungfu Drama Soul of Shaolin

Shaolin’s iron fists reign supreme! Soul of Shaolin melds magnificent stage artistry with world-revered Chinese martial arts, featuring elite disciples from the renowned Henan Provincial Shaolin Wushu Center that have forged through two decades of rigorous training. Their masterful kungfu techniques unleash the very essence of Chinese martial arts culture. This gripping tale of familial bonds explodes with spectacular displays of Shaolin kungfu , weaving together Zen boxing, qigong practice and various weaponry. Through dramatic staging, the production reveals the perfect unity of spiritual and physical prowess in traditional Chinese martial arts. After achieving a sold-out Broadway debut in 2009, Soul of Shaolin earned nominations from both the Tony Award and Drama Desk Award.
