Contemporary Legend Theatre (CLT), and Hsing Legend Youth Theatre tell Wu Song’s remarkable story of deceit, brotherhood, betrayal and heroism.

Continuing CLT’s legacy of daring and reinvention, this witty, edgy and entertaining show immerses audiences in an exciting world of ancient heroes,
bandits, swordsmen and female warriors.

One of Chinese literature’s best-known characters, Wu Song was a martial arts master who could take on a tiger with bare hands. He had to leave town aged 18, thinking he had accidentally killed a man, and Wu Song – The Tiger Warrior picks up his story a year later, when he returns home.

A skilful adaptation of one of Chinese literature’s greatest novels, Wu Song –The Tiger Warrior is an intoxicating mix of Chinese opera, Kung Fu, street dance, poetry acrobatics, ballad songs and mime that transports audiences to the exciting world of the Song dynasty.

Building on a legacy that began in 2007, when CLT's Artistic Director Wu Hsing-kuo collaborated with best-selling author Chang Da-chun and Hong Kong pop sensation Wakin Chau to stage the Chinese classic 108 Heroes – Water Margin, not as Peking opera but as a multidisciplinary, cross-genre performance in rock and roll style. Since then, CLT’s Water Margin Trilogy has introduced new audiences to this classic story, by continuing to bring unique modern twists to traditional Chinese opera.
