Monkey King by CHi2 : A Modern Beijing Opera
Friends of mine - British Chinese “double violin assault specialists” CHi2 recently premiered their new show MONKEY KING - A Modern Beijing Opera, in North London, UK.
Celebrating the richness and colour of Beijing Opera and re-interpreted for the modern day, CHi2 created a visually and musically exciting show, blending digital media and music.

I photo-documented the event which I have to say, was very good! I’m not a regular live music go-er, but they combined lots of visuals and lighting effects with a variety of musical textures, that told the story of Monkey - who in this case, was depicted by actor Tom Wu.
Stunning if you can catch it! This show was a one-off, but CHi2 are now planning a tour - watch this space!
