Performance: The Tales of King Monkey

All animals know exactly what they’re supposed to be. The elephant is a wonderful elephant. Anteaters love nothing more than eating ants.
Even the raccoon, the crow, and the squirrel know exactly what their place is in the animal kingdom. Only the monkey wants to be something he isn’t: a human who walks on two legs and wears clothes. What happens to the foolish monkey whose dreams are bigger than himself?
