Born from stone and bursting with attitude, the Monkey King is ready to defy the gods. Armed with cunning, charm, and a fierce desire to protect his tribe, Sun Wukong battles heavenly forces in his quest for immortality—and respect.
Inspired by the epic Journey to the West, this world premiere opera blends dazzling puppetry, Peking opera, dance, and Buddhist chants into a high-octane spectacle.
Composer Huang Ruo and librettist David Henry Hwang join forces to bring this iconic tale to life with a soaring, genre-blending score. Directed by Diane Paulus with visual magic from Basil Twist, The Monkey King is a bold new adventure where East meets West—and chaos meets enlightenment.
