Rare JTTW Puppet Play

I am proud to host a guest post by @ryin-silverfish about a rare JTTW puppet play from Quanzhou, Fujian province, China. The play is roughly from the Yuan to early-Ming period, meaning that it predates the 1592 edition of the novel. There are parallels with the finished work, pointing to a possible influence, or at the very least, they borrowed from the same source. But there are many differences as well. The most surprising for me are:

Sha Wujing is the one who transforms into a white horse.

Erlang becomes one of Tripitaka's disciples after being demoted for flirting with a heavenly maiden.

An example of modern Quanzhou string puppetry depicting a battle between Sun Wukong and Princess Iron Fan.

Ghost Story: a new musical is up on YouTube!

Two love stories between Chinese American and Polish American men haunt the same Montana ranch house — one century apart. As past and present intertwine, the lovers confront long-held fears in their quest to determine if they love one another for the right reasons.

GHOST STORY is a new musical exploring queer interethnic intimacies between working-class immigrants in the early Mountain West, as well as the complicated racial past of modern gay relationships. Through a story about love, culture, and identity, the show asks: In making meaning from the overwhelming tragedies of queer history, how do we balance seeking truth and beauty?

This presentation includes mature language and some mature themes. Stream our live cast album here on Spotify (and look up Ghost Story Melliot on other streaming services to find it!)

I'm chatting with a Chinese student for my Chinese class and discovered our shared love for musicals. Anyway long story short, we've been exchanging covers of French musicals in Chinese shows and I got reminded of Ayanga, Hong Zhiguang, and Yu Di's cover of Les Rois du Monde and given that I first discovered it because you were watching Super Vocal, I thought you would enjoy the remember that it exists. (Also did you know some of the songs are on Spotify? Because I didn't until today)

aaaaaaaaaaaaaa I am ALWAYS down for another listen of Les Rois du Monde, thank you!!

I am however unhinged and, uh, listen to all of my music on YouTube but Spotify alert for all of you on that platform
