Flushing Town Hall

Join the mischievous Monkey King as he takes on a mountain of fire! When Monk Tang and his disciples find their journey blocked by a blazing fire mountain, they learn that only a magical fan can put out the flames—but the fan's owner, the powerful Iron Fan Princess, has no intention of lending it out. Will the disciples' powers of transformation, persuasion, and puppet martial arts be enough to win the fan and save the day?&nbsp;
Galapagos Puppet Theater brings this beloved episode of Journey to the West, the 400-year-old Chinese epic, to life through the delicate and acrobatic art of Bu Dai Xi (Taiwanese hand puppetry). Expressive silk scarves and vividly crafted puppets move to live music on erhu, bamboo flute, and percussion, courtesy of celebrated folk musician Jimmy Zhao and his ensemble. It's a 40-minute journey through martial arts, mischief, and magic!
