Papa Bull King has been taken to the underworld. Anxious about his father, FengShen Baobao rushes to the versatile Uncle Wukong for help. Will they make it to rescue Papa from the dark realm of death and be happily reunited with Mama Iron Fan again?
Following The Little Deputy of Sun Dynasty 2 and Sunny, the Boy Officer, FengShen Baobao and Uncle Wukong's Journey to the Underworld is FengShen Baobao Troupe's third production that centers on the world of the deceased. As an imaginative reworking of the Chinese classics Journey to the West, this Taiwanese opera for children also tackles one of the most challenging questions for parents: how do we deal with our sense of loss when a loved one departs the world? As FengShen Baobao adventures to the dangerous ghost world, let's see how he brings back the lost brightness and warmth.
