The Little Prince

We grownups are very strange, indeed, and often fail to see what’s obvious, important, or interesting. So posits Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s classic tale of a world that’s best seen through the eyes of a child. We see Jeune Lune’s persistently youthful artistic director Dominique Serrand as something of a little prince himself–after all, he has been officially knighted by his French compatriots, and has a particular flair for flights of fancy; if last spring’s workshop production is any indication, le petit prince will inhabit a particularly lustrous vision of Saint-Exupery’s vast deserts and miniature planet-scapes. 105 First St. N., Minneapolis; 612-333-6200; www.jeunelune.org
