Choreographer Hallgrim Hansegård from Frikar Dance Company took four of his best Halling folk dancers with him to the Wudang Mountains in China, where kung fu master Chen Shiyu runs a martial arts school for his disciples. The kung fu monks do not speak English and the Frikar dancers do not speak Chinese. Together they have created a story under very basic conditions and without an interpreter. 8 is a physically stunning performance drawing on two strong traditions.
