The Show

We invite you into a world where magic and humor come together, a captivating first step into the richness of Asian literature, inspired by one of the greatest Chinese classics: Journey to the West.

It all begins when the monk Tripitaka sets out on a for the sacred scriptures. Along the way, he meets some unexpected companions: the Monkey King, cunning and indomitable; Piggy, lazy and gluttonous; and Sha Seng, silent and resolute.

Little by little, alliances form and tensions arise: each reveals their true character, and the unlikely team takes shape.

4 traditional art forms staged and blended with the style of Western theatre:

Both funny and touching, the show combines Pingshu (the Chinese art of storytelling), Beijing opera (a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage), guzheng music, shadow puppetry, and Western theatrical techniques.
