An aeroplane crashes in the middle of the Sahara. Its pilot survives. Now he is stranded in the desert. He is joined by a child from an alien planet — the little prince. He has left his home planet in a quarrel and is now travelling through space. Here he encounters figures whose desires are money, domination, intoxication or admiration. A dark universe reveals itself to us and to him. It is the story of a being who can wonder and who has something to counter the omnipresent forlornness and hopelessness. Perhaps the little prince is the friend we need to invent in order to survive in our world.
An end-time drama for adults.
