12. Madách International Theatre Meeting

Most likely there wouldn't have been books created by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry if he hadn't been a pilot. The experiences he gathered during his service and the events he encountered there can be found in his works. The most famous of his books - "The Little Prince," written and published in 1943, refers to his own experiences. In 1935, Saint-Exupéry attempted to break the record for the Paris-Saigon flight route but crashed his plane in the Libyan Desert.

The Fox, the Drunkard, the Banker, the Lamplighter portray human types that we can also encounter in our times. Saint-Exupéry's personal experiences shaped both the character of the Pilot and the Little Prince. Then there's the Rose. Is she a specific person who also had her prototype in reality? Or perhaps the Rose is not at all the woman whom Saint-Exupéry - the Little Prince fell in love with as a young boy, but someone who imperceptibly accompanied him forever?

We invite the whole family to the show to learn together the meaning of a beautiful word "to tame" and to remind ourselves that what is essential is often invisible to the eye.

The creators express their gratitude to the Polish-Hungarian Cooperation Institute named after Wacław Felczak in Budapest for their assistance in realizing the performance.
