The Fiery Mountain and Its Princess: A Monkey King Tale, presented by Galapagos Puppets, is a rare experience of cultural legacy as a living, breathing, and playful entity. The show, performed in the traditional Taiwanese puppetry style “bu dai xi”, combined masterful yet slapstick hand puppetry, improvised riffing off of Classical Chinese music… Madeleine Beresford and Margaret Moody, who studied with Li Tien-Lu in Taiwan, are true disciples of their craft.
