About this show
A non-verbal physical comedy show. A Shaolin monk relives his childish and clownish soul in his Zen practice, discovering a world always full of surprises and finds its meaning in seemingly insignificant little things. Freely inspired by the book Shaolin: You Don't Have to Fight to Win by Bernhard Moestl. Suitable for all ages, nationalities and members of the audience with hearing impairment. Avignon Off 2025, IAPAR (India) 2024, Prague Fringe 2024.
