 A man lights up the planet alone. Gazing at the stars, he recalls the accident that happened a long time ago, thinking of the words he heard during those days: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly”, “What is essential is invisible to the eye”. Everything seems to be just the muttering of a lonely man, after the crash in the desert of soul, his illusion projected the story of the little prince. The performance is adapted from the book “The Little Prince”, in which the French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery created a sweet mind trip, through the journey he led the readers to discover the long-lost innocence and think about the meaning of life. Apart from presenting the vivid imagination and the witty dialogue of the original work, “B612” also attempts to compare the loneliness that people nowadays are having to those the little prince was encountering, and discusses the frustration while facing the real world.
