The Little Prince celebrates his 75th anniversary

The Little Prince celebrates his 75th anniversary

Date: 2018-10-26

An adaptation of Antoine de Saint-ExupÈry's classic French fable, The Little Prince comes to Durban's DUT Courtyard Theatre for a short run from 1 - 3 November as part of an extensive national tour honouring the story's 75th anniversary.

Presented by Alliance Francaise de Durban and directed by Clara Vaughan and Mwenya B. Kabwe, The Little Prince will be a magical re-telling of the story using an innovative and playful fusion of art forms - storytelling, music and circus - in multiple languages, creating a unique South African inspired production of this French masterpiece, for adults and children alike.

The Little Prince follows on from the great success and critical acclaim of last year's touring production of Molière's Tartuffe last May.

The Little Prince is being performed by the Market Theatre Foundation's brand-new theatre company, Kwasha! and premiered at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown in July. The Kwasha! theatre company is a collaborative project between the Market Theatre Laboratory and The Windybrow Arts Centre. The project aims to support the careers of recent graduates and to provide drama classes for youth at the Windybrow Arts Centre.

Set and Costume Design of The Little Prince is by Wilhelm Disbergen; lighting design by Sibusiso David Ndumndum; choreography by Daniel Buckland and sound design by João Orecchia.

The production is supported by IFAS, the cultural agency of the Embassy of France in South Africa, the French Institute of South Africa; The Market Theatre Foundation and Mazars, an international, integrated and independent organisation, specializing in audit, accounting, tax and advisory services. The KZN Performing Arts Trust helped to bring the production to Durban.

Public performances are at: Friday 2 November at 10am for schools; Saturday 3 November at 10am and 7pm. Tickets are R80 for the public; R60 for Alliance Francaise de Durban members and OAPs; and R40 for scholars and students with student ID.

Advance booking is open for the Durban season through Computicket outlets; telephonic bookings on 0861 915 8000, and online bookings at https://www.computicket.com, or Alliance Francaise de Durban on tel 031- 312 9582.
