The Monkey King, Part One by Steven Tanoto published on 2019-01-25T00:37:22Z Here’s the first part of our three-part Taiwanese puppet theatre piece composed by Steven Tanoto for the Non-Piano Ensemble. The puppet theatre piece “The Monkey King” was performed by renowned puppeteer, Jean-Luc Penso (Théâtre du Petit Miroir), and Lucie Cunningham. Can you imagine Max and Moritz endowed with powerful magical powers? This is the case of the Monkey King. This famous Chinese character known to many in cartoons and video games, Sunwukong or Son Goku, wants to take the King’s place at the Heavenly Palace. That poses quite a big problem in the heavens and nobody is happy. Big mess, indeed. Will the Celestial Army be able to defeat The Monkey King? You will soon find out!
