Buddha Prince Backstage

Premiered Sunday, May 8, 2011
As part His Holiness the Dalai Lama's Minnesota Visit
On Twin Cities Public Television (TPT)

Created by TigerLion Arts and Twin Cities Public Television (TPT), Buddha Prince Backstage is a video documentary about the making of The Buddha Prince, a free outdoor walking play that celebrates the life and teachings of the 14th Dalai Lama. The Buddha Prince has touched thousands of people nationwide, with performances in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and New York City's Central Park since 2001. The film features the inspired creative process with the Minnesota Tibetan community, and the rich context of the Dalai Lama's culture and worldview. It is a tribute to spirit, nature, and the healing power of art.

We encourage you to share Buddha Prince Backstage with your communities, classrooms, and colleagues. To purchase a DVD please contact us.

Funding provided by TPT and the Penny George Institute for Health and Healing at Abbot Northwestern Hospital, with additional gifts from Marlow Brooks and Lucia's Restaurant.
