The Monkey King, A King is Born

Un singe espiègle, des pouvoirs magiques… et le Ciel tout entier à défier. 

Inspiré du grand classique chinois Le Voyage en Occident, ce spectacle raconte la naissance du légendaire Roi des singes. Né d’une pierre et doté de pouvoirs extraordinaires, ce singe malicieux rêve de liberté et de magie. Seule en scène, Aurore Liang porte le conte incarné dans le corps et le geste, rythmé par les mouvements martiaux et le jeu de bâton de l’Opéra de Pékin.
