This new-concept Wu Opera reimagines the classic Journey to the West story with bold stage technology and traditional performance at its core. Featuring Zhejiang Zhongyue Wuju Troupe and acclaimed performer Tang Shengcun, the production blends singing, martial arts, and striking visual elements into a fresh take on a well-known tale.

Sun Wukong Battles the White Bone Demon Three Times follows the famous episode from Journey to the West, where the White Bone Demon repeatedly disguises herself in an attempt to deceive Tang Monk and his disciples. Sun Wukong sees through the disguises and strikes three times, leading to tension within the group as loyalty, trust, and misunderstanding collide.

This new-concept Wuju production reshapes the story through modern stage presentation while preserving the core techniques of Wuju opera. The fantastical world of White Tiger Ridge is brought to life through creative staging, giving audiences a vivid and immersive theatrical experience.
