anywhere with barely enough water for a
week-- he is stuck, alone, and thirsty. He
has real concrete problems. And in this life
or death crisis, a child comes to him— the
Little Prince. This Little Prince teaches the
Aviator what he learned from the Fox and
what I learned from my youngest daughter:
IN CONVERSATION
with Ensemble Member
David Catlin
Interview by Literary Manager
and Company Dramaturg
Marti Lyons
what is truly essential is invisible to the eye.
I think we can all be reminded of that once
in awhile and I think Saint-Exupery’s story
does that in a stunningly beautiful way.
MARTI LYONS: WHAT WAS YOUR
INSPIRATION FOR DEVELOPING THE LITTLE
PRINCE?
DAVID CATLIN: A couple years ago, my wife
and I enrolled our youngest daughter in a
week-long arts camp. It was right before
Christmas and we couldn’t really afford it.
The first day she came home smiling and
showed me what she’d made—
It looked like a pile of recycled stuff-cardboard paper towel tubes and cotton
balls…
I started thinking about how much the class
cost. About how we couldn’t afford it.
The next day she showed up with something
that looked pretty similar. I think it included
some Q-Tips. Maybe some strips of
newspaper. I had trouble breathing.
This went on for three more days until I
finally asked her what it was she had made.
She told me it was a condominium for
ants—there were elaborate tunnels and
elevators and secret passageways and even
a zip-line.
Suddenly, I could see it.

Lookingglass Theatre Company
Shame on me, I thought. In theatre we are
supposed to be able to think abstractly. Yet
I got stuck in the ‘concrete’ and could only
see what was right in front of me.
In The Little Prince, the Aviator recalls how
as a child he drew a picture that looked
something like this:
When he showed it to a ‘grown-up,’ all they
could see was a hat.
He was discouraged. It was not a picture of
a hat. So he drew it more clearly.
It was a picture of a boa constrictor
devouring an elephant.
Yet no matter how often he showed the first
drawing to the grown-ups all they could
see was a hat. So he gave up his life as an
artist to study serious things like arithmetic,
grammar, and geography. He grew up and
forgot how to see elephants inside of boa
constrictors.
When our Aviator crashes in the Sahara
desert a thousand miles from anyone and
ML: HOW HAS ANTOINE DE SAINTEXUPÉRY’S, THE AUTHOR OF THE LITTLE
PRINCE, BIOGRAPHY INFLUENCED THE
PRODUCTION?
DC: It is inviting to connect Saint-Exupery’s
titular character with his biographical self
and in turn to his character the Aviator:
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery was a pilot
who flew the mail across the Western
Sahara.
- Like our Aviator, he crashed in the
desert with little to no water-- he did
have a bottle or two of wine with him-and suffered hallucinations before
being rescued after several days.
- The Little Prince is described as having
golden ringlets and as a child, Antoine
de Saint-Exupery is also described as
having golden ringlets.
- The Rose, like Saint-Exupery’s wife, is
from a small and distant land.
I find it exciting to ponder the possibility
that in The Little Prince, Saint-Exupery is
exploring the relationship we have with our
past and future selves and what they have
to teach us. And how those past and future
selves make sense of complicated and
important relationships. The Little Prince
teaches the lonely Aviator the importance of
making connections—to let oneself, as the
Fox says, ‘be tamed by another.’
ML: I KNOW THIS PIECE HAD A LIFE AT
NORTHWESTERN - CAN YOU SPEAK A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF
PIECE OVER TIME AND WITH YOUR DESIGN
TEAM?
DC: The designers and I collaborated with
the superb production staff and lovely
actors for the Northwestern production
(Spring of 2012).
We were guided by the simple handcrafted
quality of the book’s iconic illustrations.
Saint-Exupery drew them himself. In
looking at them, one is very aware of the
simplicity of line, color, and the paper
they are drawn on. The idea that our show
would also emerge from paper became
important to us. Paper felt like an apt
and useful metaphor—for a blank sheet of
paper contains whatever the imagination
demands. Just as what appears to be
merely a hat can reveal a boa constrictor
devouring an elephant. A desert can
contain an unseen well. A house can
contain a hidden treasure. A seemingly
lifeless doll can have a soul to the child
who loves it. And an ordinary rose can be
unique in the entire world to the person
who watered it and protected it from the
wind and the caterpillars. Our paper could
contain whatever our story needed—a
desert, a planet, a mountain, a field of
wheat or a well. We are excited to bring this
story to Lookingglass with its expertise in
textual, visual, metaphoric, and kinesthetic
storytelling.
