Voice
of the Dragon, Once Upon a Time in Chinese
America (above) is a dynamic music-theater piece featuring martial
arts in the Hult's Silva Hall. No one here worked on The
Matrix, but the action should still be pretty bad-ass. Jose
Manuel Figueroa, holder of many Chinese martial arts grand championship
titles, choreographs the hits, kicks, flips, ducks and one-fingered
handstands, conceived and set to music by Fred Ho. See Tuesday
Calendar.
