CARY, N.C. — The full schedule is now live for 3 Chambers Fest, a two‑day celebration that fuses hip‑hop, martial arts and anime culture through film and live performance.
The festival will take place June 12–13 at The Cary Theater and Downtown Cary Park. The event will bring a mix of screenings, workshops and immersive multimedia experiences.
3 Chambers Fest 2026 Opening Night Features RZA’s New Action Thriller
The festival opens Friday, June 12 at 7 p.m. with a screening of ONE SPOON OF CHOCOLATE, the new action thriller directed by The RZA of the Wu‑Tang Clan and presented by Quentin Tarantino.
The film stars Shameik Moore, Paris Jackson and RJ Cyler and follows a veteran seeking a fresh start who uncovers a terrifying mystery involving missing young Black men in a small town. He chooses to stop running and start fighting back.
Actor James Lee Thomas will appear via a special video introduction.
Tai Chi and Qigong Workshop Set for Saturday Morning
The festival continues Saturday, June 13 at 10:30 a.m. with “From Shaolin to Wudang Mountain: Tai Chi & Qigong Workshop” at the Great Lawn Pavilion in Downtown Cary Park.
Led by Dan Partridge, the free session will explore Chen family style Tai Chi, Five Animal Frolics Qigong, and ancient Shaolin movement practices through beginner‑friendly exercises designed to improve balance, energy and well‑being.
Live Film Remix Experience Closes Out Saturday Night
Saturday evening brings Can I Kick It?, a one‑of‑a‑kind live film remix event at 6 p.m. at The Cary Theater.
DJ 2‑Tone Jones will flip the score to BATMAN NINJA in real time using a blend of hip‑hop, soul, funk, rock and more. The remix transforms the anime film, which features Batman battling Joker, Gorilla Grodd and a league of villains in medieval Japan, into a completely new audiovisual experience.
