BRIEF INTRODUCTION

“A great and complex beauty to the drumming, sounds, and silence…”
-- The New York Times

Through a fusion of drumming, martial arts, dance, and meditation, Taiwan’s U-Theatre performance troupe presents Sword of Wisdom, a story of courage in the face of life’s challenges. The most prominent features of Sword of Wisdom are the sounds of wooden and metal percussion and the incorporation of Gurdjieff movements (a series of postures and gestures based on sacred dance in India and Central Asia). Members of U-Theatre stress the importance of meditation and introspection as part of their training. According to Artistic Director Liu Ruo-Yu, “It is our belief that, through meditation, one is able to reflect and maintain an inner calmness amidst this kaleidoscopic world; furthermore, the same tranquility can interact with any given audience to crystalize moments of living the present.”
