Présentation
This exceptional production is the result of an encounter between Jean Bellorini and Yang Hua Theatre, one of the few art-theatre production companies in China. After directing an adaptation of Les Misérables by Victor Hugo and driven by a desire to deepen artistic exchange and collaboration, Bellorini conceived a form in which theatre and song merge seamlessly. French actors François Deblock and Marc Plas, long-time collaborators, join the journey. Through original compositions performed by singers from China’s independent music scene, the story of The Little Prince is heard anew, transformed and illuminated by the extraordinary humanity that animates it.
