Practice of Zen
Theatre Ronin (Hong Kong)
On a roof webbed with fish-bone antenna, a child with a superhero
blanket cape was brought to the realm of Wuxia by a leaf. He took in all
the tangling of impermanence with resentment, lust with karma, in the
martial world. Now he is back, but thousands of years have passed.
Experience the spirit of Wuxia: not a fairytale for grownups, but a
medium to evoke thinking between the personal and the social. Inspired
by the writings of Li Shoumin, who captivated millions who found
themselves in troubled times. Theatre Ronin recreates folklore and
contemporary emotional landscape.
‘A beautifully shot series of
loosely connected dramatic scenes with smooth, elegant and intense
choreography… Its aesthetics are spot on; everything is beautifully
surrealist and absurd… Offers the unique aesthetic and thematic richness
of Wuxia films and pays homage to ancient Chinese philosophy and
traditioTheatre Ronin have mastered the perfect antidote to TikTok
addiction’ **** (BroadwayBaby.com)
‘Beautifully filmed… a
strong piece… and has the feel of an epic martial arts !lm in its
construction… The movement is fluid, fowing, and fierce’
(LouReviews.blog)
‘Alex Tam Hung Man’s writing and directing
tells this tale of woe and heartache as though he was guided through by
superhuman hands… The set was fluttering with riches… The story plumed
forth with pace, gusto, benevolence and brilliance… Time was set aside
for every feeling and thought and there was nothing that was missed or
overlooked’ (MumbleTheatre.net)
