Description

Physical theatre combines with original music as 7th century Chinese Buddhist monk and scholar Xuanzang embarks on a spiritual quest to India, seeking the answer to the question, ‘who are you?’. Innovative director Huang Ying and his team are renowned for their ability to draw on China’s cultural legacy and traditions while creating exciting contemporary productions. This Western premiere, inspired by the Ming Dynasty novel of the same name, gives Edinburgh audiences the opportunity to experience a rarely seen blend of ancient and modern in Chinese theatre and music. In Chinese, with English surtitles.
