Mountain of Flames | Yung Shing Le Shadow Puppet Theater Troupe of Taiwan

In November of 2018, the DIA worked with Michigan Chinese Women’s Association to bring Yung Shing Le, a century-old family shadow puppet troupe from Taiwan to the Metro Detroit region. Audiences enjoyed live music, puppetry, and stories that have been handed down for generations as well as up-close encounters with puppets unique to Taiwan. We hope you enjoy this recording of Yung Shing Le’s performance, with a special backstage view as well! The Mountain of Flames is an excerpt from the classic 16th Century Chinese novel Journey to the West. In this part, Monkey, a roguish hero full of mischief, accompanied by his disciples Pigsy, Sandy and their endearing mount, Horse as well as the saintly monk, Tripitaka, arrive at a volcanic mountain that is too dangerous to pass. The evil-cast fire can only be extinguished by Princess Iron Fan’s magical fan. Will the Princess be willing to loan her fan to Monkey after he defeated her son in an earlier skirmish? It’s up to Monkey to figure out a plan! Will Monkey prevail and safely guard Tripitaka and the group to pass through the Mountain of Flames?
