This is our interpretation of the classic book ‘The Little Prince’ by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
With specially commissioned animations and an original score, the retelling of this literary French classic brings together the age-old magic of puppetry and the wonderful wizardry of modern technology.
Reimagined through a newly devised script, the story follows a young prince on his journey across various planets throughout space, addressing themes such as love, loneliness, friendship and loss.
Commissioned by the Ziguzajg Arts Festival for Children and Young People 2021, ‘The Little Prince’ is aimed at children, as well as adults, aged 8 and above.
