In Chinese folklore, a “Yao” is an animal spirit. A wild young pig Yao from Langlang Mountain dreams of joining the King’s Cave, but after offending the King, he has no choice but to leave Langlang Mountain. He then teams up with his friends, namely the Toad Yao, Weasel Yao, and Orangutan Yao, to form a “grassroots scripture-seeking group.” They disguise themselves as Monk Tang and his disciples, hurrying to the Western Paradise to fetch the sacred Buddhist scriptures ahead of the real pilgrim team. Along the way, they go through absurd adventures, each achieving their own growth and finally gaining the “true scriptures” that belong to themselves.It plays locally at the AMC Loews Waterfront and tickets are available online.
