National Center for the Performing Arts

THE Henan Cultural Performing Arts Group is in town bringing along with them some of the best Shaolin martial arts performing monks and some of the nimblest acrobats in China for a breathtaking exhibition.

The group was formed two years ago to share Chinese culture with the world. It chooses monks from the various monasteries in China looking for the best to showcase martial arts on a global scale.

The Ministry of Youth, Sports & Culture is hosting the group, which will be lighting up the stage at the National Center for the Performing Arts, Shirley Street, for a free show.

The free, power-packed show, which includes martial arts displays and the use of weapons and swords, will last just an hour, so people are asked to be seated before 7pm.
