The astonishing story of Saint-Exupéry's Little Prince draws on the memories of the aviator-writer's expeditions. Flying from planet to planet, the Little Prince encounters some very lonely adults. This melancholic tale, set in the far reaches of space and beyond, reconnects us with our childhood and invites us to look at the world with poetry and candor.
Joann Sfar's comic book adaptation of the tale inspired composer Marc-Olivier Dupin to create a total show of text, images, and music! On stage, the projection of Joann Sfar 's illustrations accompanies a small instrumental ensemble comprising violin, cello, clarinet, and piano, along with a narrator. By turns cheerful and serious, humorous and meditative, the episodes of The Little Prince stimulate the composer's musical imagination. We encounter a variety of characters: a fox, a flower, a lamplighter, and even a snake.
A true sonic palette, the quartet multiplies the power of the projected images, bringing them to life, and extending the narrator's interpretation of the text. Just as much as the spoken voice, the instruments embody the characters in this illustrated tale in turn.
This multifaceted adaptation of Saint-Exupéry 's tale is proof of its universal character: when the illustrator sees images, the composer hears music. An ode to the imagination, this delicate and profound tale awakens the child in each of us.
Immediate boarding for a philosophical journey to the land of sounds and colors!

Auditorium Patrick Devedjian
Nestled like a gem in a case of glass and wood, the Auditorium Patrick Devedjian is the centerpiece of our building. It can accommodate up to 1,150 spectators and is dedicated to acoustic music, featuring the greatest classical ensembles and musicians, foremost among them the resident orchestra: Insula orchestra.
Its appearance is open to interpretation: a bird's nest, a giant liner, "the ball"...
From the outside, its glass facade is protected and powered by a gigantic array of solar panels that moves in synchronization with the sun, overlooking the concrete liner.
From the inside, the 1,150-seat hall awakens our senses. Dedicated to classical music, jazz, and world music concerts, its light blonde wooden ceiling, cardboard tubes, and paper reveal all the secrets of the excellent acoustics of this stage.
Its Acoustics
Studied by the Nagata and Jean-Paul Lamoureux firm to ensure the best possible sound reproduction for the audience. All precautions have been taken to guarantee exceptional acoustics with the precision of a musical instrument.
Its Design
Modular, its vineyard-style arrangement creates a genuine proximity with the audience surrounding the artists. The interplay of lights, the beauty of materials (wood, mosaics, glass), and the 360° panorama are all designed to match the pleasure of the eyes with that of the ears.
Its design aims to create a sense of visual and acoustic intimacy shared between the audience and the musicians. The atmosphere of the hall is warm, with curved wooden walls and ceiling contributing to the hall’s unique sound identity. Access to the hall is provided on three levels by large suspended walkways offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. These are connected by large staircases forming a continuous promenade around the hall.
