Der kleine Prinz

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

William Somerset Maugham found, There are worse things than death, namely the appalling cooling of feeling, of the capacity to love. 

Another writer, Jules Renard, wrote in his diary on his birthday, Forty-four an age at which one must give up hope of doubling one's years. 

At that very age, Antoine de Saint Exupéry, a professional pilot, crashed in 1944 near the Île de Riou near Marseille and remained missing.

Only a year after he had written his 27 marvelous fragments about the encounter of an unfortunate aviator with a boy who fell from his star.

Based on this favorite gift book of all post-war German generations, Roberto Ciulli and Maria Neumann describe a man's encounter with his own childhood in the face of death, saving the audience for at least one evening from the greatest suffering that can befall them after Maugham.

In a fantastic clown theater, Roberto Ciulli and Maria Neumann succeed in staging a production about the most difficult subjects of all - death and old age.

For seventy minutes Maria Neumann and Roberto Ciulli play against their own and general human loneliness with the best they have - imagination - in front of an astonished audience.
