Der kleine Prinz

A theater experience for the whole family: For the first time in Stuttgart
The successful Berlin stage version of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's classic is back! The Little Prince lands on the stage of Theaterhaus Stuttgart for the first time.
In this poetic production, the Little Prince encounters the star inhabitants on the screen from the stage in a mixture of drama, puppetry, live music and film, making them close and yet unreachably distant.
Well-known film and theater actors have been recruited for these roles and can be seen in film clips as the various inhabitants of the planets, such as Bruno Ganz, Dieter Mann, Horst Krause, Florian Lukas, Michael Mendl as the King and Armin Rohde.
Drehbühne Berlin presents its production of the classic in Stuttgart with the original cast - the title role is played by the German-Arab actress Nanda Ben Chaabane, the role of the pilot is played by the Berlin actor Lorenz Chr.
Other special features include the unique Arabic-Oriental music, which is played live during the performances, and the fascinating full-body puppets.
An unforgettable family theater experience - for young and old (from 8 years)
The audience accompanies the little prince on his planetary journey and his search for friends. At the beginning, he lives on a small asteroid, where he watches the sun go down again and again. One day, however, the little prince witnesses the birth of a beautiful rose. But the flower and the little prince fall out and so he decides to leave and go in search of other friends.
The first thing he encounters on earth is a snake and he finally meets a crashed pilot in the middle of the desert. The little prince tells him about his little asteroid and about his journey from planet to planet, where he has met strangely tall people: a king, a vain man, a drunkard, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer who reveals to him that his rose is ephemeral. As the pilot does not want to understand why it is so important to know why the flowers have thorns but the sheep eat them anyway, the little prince runs away disappointed.
So he comes to a fox who asks him to tame him and makes him realize how unique true friendship and his rose are. The fox also confides a secret to the little prince: You can only see well with your heart, the essentials are invisible to the eyes!
Timeless messages from a little prince
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was first published over 80 years ago in New York, where the author was in exile. Then as now, times were politically and socially oppressive. All the less have the timeless messages of this classic lost their comforting and encouraging significance. The story is an appeal for humanity and friendship. Above all, it shows one thing very clearly: peace begins on a small scale and can only be achieved through empathetic cooperation.
