With their latest project Monkey King - A Modern Beijing Opera, Chi2 have fused the worlds of electro-acoustic music, film-making, theatre performance and one of the world's most ancient artforms to create a most modern interpretation of a Beijing Opera. Bursting with colour, drama, energy and vibrancy, they have drawn on this classic art form for inspiration and have composed an original soundtrack to complement the filmic intrepretation of the storyline by Michele Rosaus and Steve Teers, whilst award winning composer Tom E. Morrison (ex Underworld) has produced the score. Actor Tom Wu employs spoken word, narration and his expertise in martial arts to convey the thrill-seeking adventures of the storyline. Their live show features Chinese drummers, exotic Chinese instruments, costumes by Mao Coutoure and a stunning light show by Nial Hannell (Gnarls Barkley, Marc Almond).
