A poetic stage experience for children and adults

With The Little Prince, the Junges Theater Bonn brings one of the most famous tales of world literature to the stage at the Thalia Kuppelsaal. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's modern fairy tale has managed for decades to combine childlike clarity and philosophical depth in a story that questions friendship, responsibility, and the essentials in life.

When friendship becomes theater art

The production by Olja Artes relies on a touching bilingual format: on stage, German spoken language meets German sign language. This creates a special stage experience that acts not only thematically but also physically and visually. The play thus becomes an evening of theater that expands perception and enriches the theatrical atmosphere with calm, precision, and closeness.

A modern fairy tale with radiant clarity

The story begins in the desert, where a pilot meets the little prince. From there, a journey unfolds to foreign planets, to a king without subjects, a businessman, a lamplighter, and finally to the fox, whose encounter reveals the core of the narrative. It is this dramaturgy that makes the material so strong: each scene opens a new perspective on the world of adults, which the little prince examines with wonder.

Direction, language, and sensuality

Olja Artes develops the production with hearing and deaf artists. This results in a staging that does not rely on mere translation, but on equal interplay of sound, movement, and gesture. This gives the acting a special intensity and makes the evening directly accessible even for the young audience from 8 years old.

The Kuppelsaal as an intimate studio stage

The Thalia Kuppelsaal in Bonn serves as the studio stage of the JTB, offering a space for concentrated, close theater. The intimate architecture enhances the impact of the scenes, allowing every gesture and every glance to carry weight. For this story, it is the ideal setting: a place where imagination is not displayed but shared.

Conclusion

The Little Prince at JTB in Thalia promises a sensitive, inclusive, and visually striking theatrical experience. Those looking for poetic family theater with depth will find a performance here that resonates long after. Be there live and discover the journey of the little prince in the theater itself.
