A Toronto theatre features a unique adaptation of The Little Prince, catered to the deaf community, with a script by deaf artist Landon Krentz. The production is performed by a completely deaf cast, enhancing its authenticity. Krentz emphasizes the internal journey of self-discovery in the narrative. The play integrates innovative techniques such as vertical dancing, projection technology, and visual vernacular—melding movement mime with American Sign Language (ASL). This production highlights accessibility in arts and runs from April 19, with tickets available on a sliding scale.
"This project is very special. It's very special to my heart," he told CBC Toronto. "It's about how we look for external solutions. We seek these things, but sometimes we have to look inward."
The show combines vertical dancing on roles and harnesses with projection technology and visual vernacular, an art form that combines movement mime and American Sign Language (ASL).
