- Synopsis:
Featuring ordained Buddhist Monks from China's renowned Shaolin Temple, with special narration by John Hurt and a haunting sound track, this specially filmed production takes you closer than the best seats in the house to witness this incredible theatrical performance. 'Shaolin: Wheel of Life' tells the inspiring story of how the Monks loyalty to their Emperor was betrayed, of how they were almost destroyed and how five young monks survived to continue the "Wheel of Life". As the legend is told, you will be left gasping in astonishment at the apparently superhuman feats performed by the cast of twenty monks as they display some of the most unique Kung-fu ever seen. Watch in amazement as they are lifted aloft on sharpened spears, break iron bars on their heads, smash concrete blocks whilst lying between beds of nails and swords, perform hand stands on two fingers and splinter wooden staves against their bodies. 'Shaolin Wheel of Life' is an outstanding and moving stage show. - Actors:
