Shaolin - Wheel Of Life DVD

| DVD

Captured at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, Shaolin--Wheel of Life is the complete stage event featuring the undoubtedly unique touring group of oriental monks who present a show that mixes a martial arts display with theatre and music. Rather than simply providing a glorified circus, however, the show itself is based on the monks' own history, focusing on the less-than-obvious story of how a religious order evolved into a group of combatants who look as though they could eat Jackie Chan for breakfast. The monks' abilities are truly astounding, ranging from impossibly... graceful acrobatics to don't-try-this-at home feats of strength and endurance involving the breaking of wooden poles and concrete slabs and balancing upon disturbingly sharp objects (the narrator, appropriately, is John Hurt).
