The dozens of vibrantly colored shadow puppet projections are combined with live performers to tell the tale of Sun Wu Kung, (a.k.a Monkey King). Made up of a combination of characteristics-wise sage, cosmic prankster, shape-shifting magician and unbeatable martial artist, Sun Wu Kung is the hero of this tale. Monkey King is Jackie Chan, Gandalf, Superman and Bugs Bunny rolled into one. Join this fantastic simian troublemaker as he gathers his superpowers and causes such a cosmic ruckus that eventually Buddha must intervene to take him down!
