Leaving his beloved rose, the Little Prince from asteroid B-612 starts his space odyssey.

Based on The Little Prince, this dance theatre for families integrates contemporary dance, literature, music, live sand drawing and animation – an inspired, unexpected and unique interpretation of this well-loved classic.
