Vancouver-based artist Niall McNeil is an actor, writer, lyricist, poet, filmmaker, and painter who also happens to have Down syndrome. As the co-creator of acclaimed productions including Peter Panties and Sir Arthur's Knight (both developed here at Banff Centre), Niall returns to Banff with a new creation that adds director to his list of artistic practices.
Inspired by the 1740 French fairy tale La Belle et la Bête, Jean Cocteau's surrealist film adaptation, and Disney's 1991 animated classic, Niall brings his own experiences and perspectives to the iconic story in Beauty and the Beast: My Life.
Featuring seriously catchy music by Veda Hille, stylized choreography by Billy Marchenski, and an accompanying exhibition of Niall's paintings exploring the show's themes, Beauty and the Beast: My Life is a funny, vulnerable, high-energy celebration of a singular artist's imagination. This highly original interdisciplinary performance offers audiences an experience unlike anything else on stage.
Beauty and the Beast: My Life has been created with accessibility for Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences in mind, with live captioning provided at every performance.
