Before he was a legend, Bruce Lee was just a young man trying to figure it all out—right here in Seattle. This action-packed, soul-searching story follows the Young Dragon as he navigates a new country and finds his voice. Through movement, magic, and heart, we meet the human behind the icon— flawed, fierce, and full of possibility. Watch as Lee learns to clear his brain by mimicking the white noise of water and begins fusing martial arts with philosophy. From street fights in Hong Kong to teaching self-defense and chasing big dreams, Bruce’s journey reminds us that finding your way means first figuring out who you are.
IMPACT is a compelling, one-act solo show (plus a cellist and percussionist), written and performed by composer/lyricist/performer Amy Engelhardt.
Using projections, video, original music, and an intimate storytelling style, Engelhardt connects a global and a personal narrative that shines a ray of hope on the best of humanity in the midst of tragedy.
