The Prophet (Streaming)

About This Show

The Prohpet, a cinematic rendering of a theatrical production is based on the beloved classic literature by Kahlil Gibran, the third best-selling poet of all time after Shakespeare and Lao-tzu. It has been adapted and directed for performance by Orlando Pabotoy Gibran, a Lebanese-born artist. Since its publication in 1923, The Prophet has sold over nine million copies in its American edition alone, has been translated to over 100 languages, and has never been out of print.

The Prophet tells the story of philosophy and encouragement as the prophet Al-Mustafa is to return to his birth land after a twelve-year exile in the city of Orphalese. As he awaits his journey home, he contemplates fear, excitement, and purpose while giving the people of Orphalese words to live by from the divine. The Prophet explores the ramifications of love, children, joy sorrow, and pain. It combines live-action, mask work, and animation of the actors to tell the story of transformation and wonder.
