Join the Vancouver Cantonese Opera for a storytelling adventure based on the very famous Chinese legend of �The Monkey King�! The Monkey King, or �Sun Wukong� is a monkey born from a stone who acquires supernatural powers through Taoist practices. After rebelling against heaven and being imprisoned under a mountain by the Buddha, he later accompanies the monk �Xuanzang� on a journey to retrieve Buddhist sutras from India.

In this workshop, the Vancouver Cantonese Opera will tell you about Sun Wukong�s colourful character, and the adventures he has while he accompanies the monk �Xuanzang� on a journey to retrieve Buddhist sutras from India.

The Monkey King is a main character in the 16th century Chinese novel �Journey to the West�.

Don�t miss this opportunity to join the Vancouver Cantonese Opera for a fun and dynamic cultural learning experience!

Recommended for children between the ages of 5 - 12. We ask that children are accompanied by a parent or guardian.
