Synopsis:

WHISPERING TIGER, HIDDEN ESSENCE
Where True Strength Roars

Whispering Tiger, Hidden Essence brings together a cast spanning five generations, blending physical theatre and fitness on stage. Featuring performers aged 18 to 84, this production challenges conventional notions of age, strength, and resilience. Directed by Beverly Yuen, the piece seeks to transport the audience on a transformative journey.

Synopsis
The Warrior Circle has always taken pride in its physical strength and defensive prowess. But the leader, who once believed his peak fitness would last forever, is struck by an injury that changes everything. Now a "weakened master", he faces the challenge of passing on his legacy to a disciple.

As new challenges arise, the journey tests the strength, spirit, and resilience of all involved. Who will rise to lead?

Think of The Hunger Games reimagined on stage, with all its intensity and dramatic stakes!
