An adventurous visual biography of the pilot and writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

A theatrical adaptation of the graphic novel by Petr Sís — the author of the metaphorical biography of the legendary adventurer and literary author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. His childhood and dreams, work for the airmail service, missions during World War II, and the fateful last flight over the Mediterranean…

The story of a pilot who loved to read and write in the cockpit of his plane. A performance about overcoming earthly gravity and pushing the limits of what a human being can achieve. Experience with Antoine de Saint-Exupéry the beginnings of aviation — a time when airplanes had various curious shapes and when vast distances between continents began to slowly shorten.
