Earlier this month, a delegation of 20 Shaolin monks arrived in Geneva, Switzerland, and gave four performances of Shaolin Kung Fu drama. This is the first time for Shaolin Temple to perform in Switzerland in more than 10 years.

The stage play embodies the essence of China and Shaolin Kung Fu while combining traditional Shaolin Kung Fu with western modern danceart, presenting a cultural and artistic blend of the East and the West.

The first performance of Shaolin monks in Switzerlandtook place on February 16, local time. Tickets were sold out early in the morning, and the 1,200-seat theater was at fullcapacity. The next three performances were also sold out.

Since its debut in the UK in May 2008, the delegation has tourednearly 100 citiesin more than 30 countries, attracting hundreds of thousands of viewers.
