Before Bruce Lee, there was Yip Man. Joyway London presents the UK Premiere of the groundbreaking dance drama that has taken China by storm.
Wing Chun tells the true story of martial artist and prestigious Grandmaster Yip Man and his influence on the legendary art of Wing Chun, from its 300 year old origins in China to its explosion across the rest of the world, and his most famous student Bruce Lee. This highly acclaimed, multi award-winning, dance drama follows a film crew as they shoot the story of Yip Man, spanning the ‘then’ and ‘now’ through two eras, two worlds, two generations of people chasing their dreams.
Wing Chun has broken Chinese box office records and features a unique oriental aesthetic that encompasses Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Bagua Zhang, Baji Quan, Praying Mantis and other Chinese martial arts masterpieces.
This legendary production, hailed as “a masterful representation of the Chinese martial arts and the ancient philosophies and wisdom behind them”, is a visually stunning fusion of martial arts and dance that is not to be missed.
