monkey journey to the west
regulars to this corner of the web will know that anything relating to the combined workings of nutter with a pencil,
jamie hewlett, and his tune heavy side kick, damon albarn is always given some love. so with that in mind, this page is going to be an ongoing spot for links relating to the new opera that the boys are involved with.
first, here's the pr detail regarding the opera :
"from the creators of gorillaz, damon albarn and jamie hewlett with acclaimed director chen shi-zheng, this dazzling new opera premieres at the manchester international festival on 28th june
- 7th july. based on the ancient chinese legend (and popular 80s tv series) of the monkey king, this epic journey to enlightenment features monkey, pigsy, sandy, tripitaka and a cast of more than 70 musicians, singers, chinese martial artists, acrobats and contortionists (dalian national circus of china). working within the operatic tradition, it is entirely groundbreaking with its mix
of live action and animation."
