Le Petit Prince
National Ballet principal dancer Guillaume Côté makes his full-length choreographic debut with this adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s beloved children’s novella. It captures the wonder and whimsy of the eponymous little dude and his aviator friend through lofty movements and spellbinding effects: floating sceptres, soaring paper airplanes and spinning chairs. June 4 to 12. From $37. Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, 145 Queen St. W., 416-345-9595.

Marienbad Jordan Tannahill, the city’s hottest theatrical iconoclast, teams up with Toronto Dance Theatre’s Christopher House for a provocative dance work (the pair last collaborated for 2014’s On Display). The show uses text, images and movement to tell the story of two queer men from vastly different eras. June 1 to 4; previews May 26 to 29. $26. Winchester Street Theatre, 80 Winchester St., 416-967-1365.

Hearn Generating Station, 440 Unwin Ave., 416-368-4849.
