The Buddha Prince

“The Buddha Prince,” is a “walking play” exploring the extraordinary life and legacy of the 14th Dalai Lama through theater, mask, puppetry and Tibetan music and dance, that will be performed outdoors at Washburn Fair Oaks Park, 200 E. 24th St., in Minneapolis. Presented in the unique style for which producer TigerLion Arts is renowned, this all-ages play transports audiences through scenes unfolding on a journey through nature with 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 traditional dance program, and Tibetan community singers.
