THE ROSE AND I

Inspired by Chapter VII of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Le Petit Prince, its main premise is about the spark of excitement when boy meets girl, or boy meets rose, as the case may be. The rose was by several accounts representative of the torrid and turbulent love affair between the French Saint- Exupéry and his Spanish wife. Our piece focuses on that dynamic moment of a first meeting, filled with romantic anticipation of what is to come.
