The Little Prince in Bordeaux: A Unique Creation
Published in 1943 in New York, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's work never ceases to amaze us. The French masterpiece, the most read and translated in the world with 80 million copies sold, arrives in Bordeaux in the form of a living and animated canvas. Culturespaces and the Official Succession of the French writer have come together to present "The Little Prince", a unique creation specially designed for the Bassins des Lumières, the digital art center.
The little boy with golden hair settles in Bordeaux
This immersive exhibition invites visitors to discover or rediscover "The Little Prince" from a new perspective. Saint-Exupéry's watercolors and words come to life on the floors and walls, transporting us to a world where imagination knows no bounds. The roses, foxes, and snakes speak, and we travel from desert to meadow, from planet to planet. The landing is without the slightest difficulty, as neither time nor space seem to have any influence.

Experience Saint-Exupéry's masterpiece in a new light
"In this enchanting world, we accompany the Little Prince as he embarks on a quest to unravel the mysteries of life. Reflecting our own quest for understanding and connection, the timeless themes of the story come alive: questions and answers, adulthood and childhood, happiness and sadness, love and friendship, the visible and the invisible. The Little Prince challenges us to look deeper and rediscover the wonder all around us," as explained by Culturespaces in their press release.
This creation is a magical invitation to explore the beauty and simplicity of the world, reminding us of the power of imagination, curiosity, and kindness. Just like Saint-Exupéry once said: "One sees clearly only with the heart, the essential is invisible to the eyes."
