By Francisco Salazar

The Teatro Digital, a project of Bancolombia and el Teatro Mayor de Bogota, will stream “El Rey Mono crea caos en el cielo” from the Beijing Opera.

The opera will stream between Oct. 1 and 8 and is inspired by the book “Monkey” by Wu Cheng’en, which was published during the Ming Dynasty. The original book is considered one of the greatest books of Chinese literature.

The work that will be streamed combines numerous artforms including music and visual arts to tell various stories and showcase the journey of the king.

The production will be presented in collaboration with the Chinese ministry of culture and tourism and is part of the 40th-anniversary celebration of diplomatic relations between Colombia and China.
