THE ENLIGHTENMENT OF THE SIDDHARTHA GAUTAMA BUDDHA, AND THE ENCOUNTER WITH THE MONKEY KING – GREAT SAGE, EQUAL OF HEAVEN The most important human being ever born. The most powerful creature ever to exist. Somewhere in our city, they're about to hook up. Sid's life is objectively perfect but utterly empty. Meanwhile, Sage hustles every waking minute against encroaching poverty and desperation. 'Subversive, entertaining, and super fun... from queer rom-com to crime fiction, with the gloss of a cosmic cartoon.' - The Age Perth artist Joe Paradise Lui re-imagines two characters from a towering story of his childhood - the young prince Siddhartha, and the magical Monkey from Journey to the West - as young women in contemporary Australia. Part romantic comedy, part crime saga, and part cosmic fever dream, Enlightenment is a dark, hilarious, and moving parable from one of Australia's true renegade artists.
When they meet and fall in love, it's gonna be epic; as in destruction-of-the-cosmic-order epic.
Ages: 18 years and above
