Der kleine Prinz

The Little Prince

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

One of the world’s most beautiful stories comes to life once again. The world-famous book *The Little Prince* by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry offers theater for the whole family. The story is brought to life by David Leubner, who breathes life into over a dozen characters in his brilliant performance. Almost everyone knows one or two quotes from this story, which is full of wisdom. There’s a pilot whose plane breaks down in the middle of the desert. He has just under eight days to repair his plane before his supplies run out. Suddenly, a small child stands before him and asks politely but insistently, “Please, draw me a sheep!” This request takes the pilot and the audience on a journey into space and back...

The child turns out to be a prince from a distant planet, and his journey to the desert is full of adventures, encounters, and farewells. Together with the pilot, adults and children ages 8 and up can rediscover the tale of *The Little Prince*. In this timeless story about friendship, love, responsibility, and humanity, cheerfulness blends with tenderness and seriousness.
