- Sutra (2008)
- Set design
- Antony Gormley
- He had collaborated with Cherkaoui previsouly in the work Zero Degrees 2005
- he thinks "whether we like it or not, china is in the future"
- His ideas stem from the fascinations with the human body
- he is interested in giving the bodies of the dancers' extensions that can be themselves continually manipulated into new configurations
- the 21 oblong, five-sided wooden boxes representative of many things
- Sentry boxes, baths, cupboards, bed, coffins
- Antony Gormley
- Accompaniment
- Syzmon Brzoska
- He was just 27 when he composed the score and had just finished studying in Antwerp
- The score for Sutra is melancholic with violins, viola, cello, piano and percussion
- He feels that this in many ways would contrast with the bracing physicality of the monks movements
- The stings helped to create the atmosphere that was felt in the Shaolin Temple
- He said he never intended to write music that would be inspired by chinese music in a cliched way
