The scenery, which will be one of the key elements of the show, will be done by Tatiana Jorqui Halbach and Queralt, who use mappings to complement the physical elements that go scrolling to the needs of each scene. The drama and musical letters are taken care by Marc Artigau. The 360 sound and music, created by Guix will be based on a total of 15 pieces of different musical styles such as ballads, jazz and contemporary music.
Until the autumn the actor who plays the title role will not be known, but the production have already revealed some of the other characters: Xavi Duch play the Businessman and the Geographer, Marc Pociello embody the Fox and King, Angel Llàcer will be the aviator and Elena Gadel sing songs as « Rose. »

New Little Prince books with Gallimard !
The Little Prince from the TV series will live new adventures with Gallimard Jeunesse.
The new collection « Premières Lectures » offers its two first release :
– La Couronne de l’Oiseau de Feu
This collection for young readers is already available.
Physical theatre with an Asian touch based on classic Antoine de Saint-Exupéry tale
As demonstrated by this likeable, if occasionally meandering, adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s world-famous fable, Shanghai-based ex-pat theatre company Urban Aphrodite International use drama and movement styles derived from influential Japanese theatre-maker Tadashi Suzuki.
At the start, the three robotically floor-stamping actors (plus musician Tom Sharrock) separate out the various props (paper lanterns, sticks, fabric) and costume accessories (hats, masks, fake beard) that they will subsequently use to tell the tale of the titular and peripatetic lad (nicely played by Alex Gomar), who is pining for the precious flower (Awesta Zarif) left behind on his planet.
It is by necessity, given the source (touchingly sweet or achingly twee depending on your point of view), a delicate and simply staged performance leavened by the participation of the robust Barron Weyerhaeuser in a slew of roles. Sharrock’s mainly recorded score is perhaps a tad too samey, so too the cosmic back projections and some of the pseudo-floaty motion.
Also, those unfamiliar with the book might be at a bit of a loss. Still, there are nice things here and an over-all care that serves Saint-Exupéry’s classic well. It’s also suitable for children, although probably not the little ones.
Greenside @ Nicolson Square, 618 6967, until 16 Aug, 12.40pm, £10 (£5).
Starchild: The Little Prince Reborn
Urban Aphrodite International is a company based in Shanghai. Starchild: The Little Prince Reborn is an original, universal physical theatre piece based on the incredible travels of The Little Prince written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
