THE LITTLE PRINCE

THE LITTLE PRINCE IN THE SIX CONTINENTS - (painting, animation, narration, live music)

featuring Marek Tomalik & the Czerwie Quartet

The desert is beautified by the fact that it hides a well somewhere within it.

You are invited to a moving tale based on Exupéry's text, which will rediscover the emotions associated with the timeless tale and its rich symbolism. The role of author-pilot-narrator is played by the traveller, radio journalist Marek Tomalik (now RMF Classic), who reveals successive pages of a book written 75 years ago. The narration is accompanied by images from Marek's journeys across six continents, alluding to interplanetary travel and the search for the Little Prince. The whole is tied together by the live improvised music of the Czerwie Quartet, known for their trance-like musical illustrations to silent film. This time, it will be a proposal from the borderland of ethno-jazz, French chansons and soft psychedelia. This is Mark and Cherwi's second joint project after ‘Aborigines, Indigenous Australians’. A thing for open hearts, big and small, because zone always succumbs to the charm of mystery. Despite the absurdity of the situation.
