 Monkey ... Journey to the West at Sydney Opera House

 
 

 Acrobatics, song, puppetry and martial arts combine in Monkey… Journey to the West. This ancient Chinese fable, made famous by TV show Monkey Magic, will take the Sydney Opera House on a nostalgic adventure from 4-9 April 2015.

Chinese mythology tells of The Monkey King, expelled from heaven and charged with helping monk Tripitaka in the search for hidden scriptures that promise peace for China. Unlikely heroes Monkey, Pigsy and Sandy join Tripitaka as they traverse the Himalayas on a journey filled with action, comedy, drama and some essential life lessons. The legend of Monkey, as he is known in the west, has retained its relevance through centuries dealing with themes that still resonate today.

Created by Kim Carpenter from Theatre of Image and co-directed with Bell Shakespeare’s John Bell, Monkey… Journey to the West is an action-packed adventure with live music, projections and giant puppets.
