A musical fairy tale

Music by Philipp Manuel Gutmann
Based on the classic novel of the same name by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Adapted for the stage by Fedora Wesseler

Age recommendation: 8 years and over

Adults are funny people. They only ever talk about ‘serious’ or ‘sensible’ things and take themselves incredibly seriously. The little prince realises this on his journey through the universe, where he encounters the strangest inhabitants. On Earth, he finally meets a fox and discovers a great secret: how the everyday becomes unique. Saint-Exupéry's poetic classic about loneliness, affection and responsibility, brought to life through stage and music!

The room is bright. The little prince sits on a cube, looking longingly ahead, a tear running down his cheek. He has light blond, straight hair and wears dark blue trousers, a light grey shirt, a gold and turquoise waistcoat over it, and a turquoise shimmering jacket with an organically curved sewn-in pattern. In the background behind him is a small puppet theatre with three miniature mannequins wearing warm-coloured dresses and large flowers as hats.

The little prince kneels on the ground. He puts one hand on his chest and sings sadly into the distance.

The focus of the image is on the fox, which is depicted large and centred in the picture. Behind her are the blurred outlines of the little prince, who is laughing as he moves towards the fox.

The actress holds the fox mask about 30 centimetres away from her head so that her face is visible. Her expression is focused.
