Flight

Curbside—John Hirsch Mainstage

This incredible movement piece was a joy to watch. Based on the classic story ‘The Little Prince’, This new telling was visually stunning to watch. I loved watching these three talented acrobats flow seamlessly from one scene to the next. With no set whatsoever, I was spellbound the entire time. Fans of the story may not love some of the changes that have been made for the purpose of this production. It is alluded to at the very beginning that this is a sort of sequel to the original, but the story is relatively the same. In this telling for example, instead of traveling through space, we travel through the sea. Instead of visiting planets, we visit islands. I found some of the nuances and metaphors were lost but the story seemed to have a more light and whimsical feel to it. This is a great one to take your whole family too and a definite treat to brighten anyone’s day.
