For performances on stages without a proscenium, we solved the pilot scenes, which actually take place on the proscenium with the main curtain closed, by placing the pilot and his easel directly in front of the watercolor-like illuminated stage set. A wonderful solution that is in no way inferior to the "curtain solution".

The scene on the planet of the lamplighter - here a day lasts only a minute. And the lamplighter has to light his lantern at night and extinguish it again during the day, so that he never gets any rest. But that is "the instruction" that the conscientious lamplighter wants to fulfill.
Anja Pirling
The photo of Anja Pirling as the Little Prince is now known all over the world and is passed around. Prince fans in Japan especially love it. Many productions in recent years have copied Anja Pirling's costume - but only when Anja Pirling is in the costume can you experience the brilliance of her acting. Every actor has the role of a lifetime - for Anja Pirling, that is THE LITTLE PRINCE.
