Immortal Shaolin: The Past, Present, and Future of Kung Fu showcases the essence and evolution of Kung Fu with the Shaolin Temple.
In a monumental collaboration between the revered Shaolin Temple and Immortal Studios, a unique multimedia experience is set to unveil in the heart of Los Angeles. This unparalleled event aims to bridge 1,500 years of rich Shaolin history with the future aspirations of Kung Fu, casting a spotlight on both its martial and spiritual prowess.
Scheduled for November 12, 2023 from 2 to 4 pm at the iconic Million Dollar Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, Immortal Shaolin: The Past, Present, and Future of Kung Fu, serves as a vivid exploration of the essence of Shaolin, recognized globally as the birthplace of Kung Fu and Chan (Zen) Buddhism.
Guiding this journey will be the esteemed Abbot of the Shaolin Temple, Shi Yongxin, accompanied by the elite group of Shaolin warrior monks. Immortal Studios, the collaborating multiplatform entertainment studio building a modern martial arts fantasy universe, is accentuating and deepening the experiential and philosophical dimensions through multi-media stage experience.
A delightful ensemble awaits attendees: mesmerizing displays of legendary Shaolin superhuman feats, deep dives into their meditation forms, insights into the mysterious internal energy practices for rejuvenation, and firsthand narratives of its storied histories.
The spectacle does not end here. Prominent Shaolin disciples from the North American martial arts landscape, including Philip Sahagan of Cirque du Soleil fame and Sifu Kisu - the inspiration behind the animated sensation, Avatar: The Last Airbender, including others, are slated to grace the stage.
An added dimension to the event will be a tribute to Shaolin's cinematic and cultural legacy. From iconic classics like Bruce Lee films to modern wonders like Shaolin Soccer and The Last Airbender, this section underscores Shaolin's global cultural impact.
Integral to the event will be the announcement of the North American Shaolin Games' victors. The event will culminate in honoring Abbot Shi Yongxin with the inaugural Immortal Martial Hero Award, a testament to his unique contributions to preserving the martial hero spirit.
Reflecting on the event, Shi Yongxin shared, "Being in Los Angeles offers a wonderful opportunity for the Shaolin Temple to acquaint Americans with the authentic tenets of Shaolin, transcending beyondmartial displays to the profound philosophies and histories underpinning them."
Payhuan Shiao, CEO of Immortal Studios and long-time Shaolin collaborator, resonated similar sentiments, "Growing up, I've had the privilege of witnessing Shaolin's grandeur, both in stories and in reality. As the world grapples with unprecedented challenges, we hope to infuse the timeless wisdom and strength of Shaolin into people's lives through an event like this, along with power of media and culture to share that to the masses"
