BE LIKE WATER
By Dan Kwong
Directed by Chris Tashima
Martial Arts
Choreography by Diana Lee Inosanto & Ron Balicki
Dance
Choreography by Blythe Matsui
In
association Cedar Grove OnStage
Chicago, 1978. Disco rules. Five years since the tragic death of
legendary martial artist Bruce Lee. Tracy Fong is a 13-year old
ass-kicking, gung-fu fanatic tomboy, challenged by school bullies,
airhead rivals, and a mother who just wants her to be a "normal" girl.
When bad goes to worse, the Ghost of Bruce Lee appears to teach her the
true meaning of strength and the true power of water.
