"Whimsical physical theatre... [Flight] makes ingenious use of three actors' bodies!" -Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Times
The Little Prince is a timeless story about learning to see with the heart, and finding the courage to fly. These themes inspired us to create Flight, a sequel with an acrobatic twist. In Flight, three acrobats morph into cactuses, waves, and far-off islands as we invite the audience to discover this classic tale like they've never imagined.
Six years after the original, the Pilot has forgotten the Little Prince's secret, so he embarks on a quest to find his lost friend and remember the secret. But nothing is as he remembers: planets are islands, the rose is a cactus, and the Little Prince is a tiny girl who proclaims that girls can be princes too.
"The show is magic, with a heart as big as the ocean! Four Stars!" Best NY Comedy
