Ballet Co.Laboratory - Remembering the Little Prince

The acclaimed Ballet Co.Laboratory along with area dancers perform a story ballet, choreographed by Zoe Emilie Henrot inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s childhood tale, set to music by Camille Saint-Saens.  Remembering the Little Prince is ballet-based with influences from other dance styles.

Eloise is a young girl who likes to live life to the fullest.  Her father, on the other hand, is only concerned with being successful.  He works long hours in his suit and tie, briefcase constantly at his side.  One evening, Eloise tells her father that she would like to read him the story of The Little Prince.  She sits with him and transports him to the Little Prince’s planet, Asteroid B-612.  Abandoning his pragmatism, Eloise’s father journeys together with Eloise and the Little Prince to several planets, finally landing back on Earth.
