ABOUT THIS SHOW

Summer at The Cedar #4 - The Buddha Prince: In Concert. Celebrating His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s 90th birthday with music, dance, and storytelling!


THE BUDDHA PRINCE

The Buddha Prince explores the extraordinary life and legacy of the 14th Dalai Lama through physical theater, mask, puppetry and Tibetan music and dance. Presented in the unique style for which producer TigerLion Arts (TLA) is renowned, this all-ages performance transports audiences through scenes unfolding on a journey through dance and live music orchestrated by master Tibetan artist Tenzin Ngawang.

The Buddha Prince explores the Dalai Lama's life from boyhood in a free Tibet to his escape and exile to India, using excerpts from his own teachings and autobiographies. It features more than 20 professional actor/musicians, youth performers from the Tibetan American Foundation of Minnesota’s (TAFM) traditional dance program, and Tibetan community singers. The Buddha Prince was co-created by music and dance director Tenzin Ngawang and writer/director Markell Kiefer,  a Minnesota native and TLA’s executive artistic director, as an offering for peace and a celebration of Tibetan heritage.  

Minnesota is home to the second largest Tibetan population in North America. "You will experience a different culture-one that is filled with music, dance and color." -Elizabeth Lopez, ReviewPlays.com
