Monkey!
16 June 2008
to 12 July 2008
Quarry Theatre
A cast of experienced aerial performers bring the legendary Chinese and cult TV hero to life in a visual spectacular combining amazing new bungee dance techniques, trapeze, vertical rope and acrobatics.
With a mischievous streak as big as China itself, Monkey is a modern hero who loves causing trouble and breaking the rules. Now, to escape imprisonment, he’s got to help Tripitaka, a Buddhist Monk, on the sacred quest over the Himalayas to India.
And what a quest it is – Monkey and Tripitaka must battle tricksy Demons, false Kings and even Yama, King of Death himself. But they’ve got a flying cloud at their command and new friends Sandy and Pigsy to help them on their way, so the Western Heavens may just be within reach.
