Worldwide phenomenon and Crossfire favourites Gorillaz have announced they are going to be branching out even more in 2007, when they are teaming with with Shaolin monks, acrobats, martial aritsts and even the Peking Opera for the Manchester International Festival.
The interpretation will be of the story of the Monkey King, a Chinese literary classic, and will have its set designed by Jamie Hewlett with frontman Damon Albarn bringing the music to the production. It will be shown first on the 28th of June next year and is sure to be a visual spectacular.
