Le Petit Prince - Conte Musical

Presented by JEAN MARC DUMONTET. “When I was offered to make a version in the form of a musical tale of Saint-Exupéry’s masterpiece, I of course re-read the original but also rummaged through the existing adaptations. That is how I discovered Joann Sfar’s graphic novel. Faithful to the creator of the work, it brings a new energy to the text. The dialogue takes on an extraordinary intensity and the drawings bring us closer to each character. That is how I conceived a show in which the text spoken by a narrator, the projection of Sfar’s images and the music, by turns illustrative and detached from a text with so many levels of reading, are intermingled! From childhood to adulthood.” Marc-Olivier Dupin
