Request of the favorite sentence of “The Little Prince” recording
Hello, hello!
Thank you for noticing this letter.
I’m a poet and director living in Japan although I’m not successful yet.
I’m making a play based on The Little Prince by Saint-Exupery with 6 members of performers and artists.
I will describe what young people really are with our play. We have been discussing and thinking of love, trust, gratitude, loneliness, and violence.
While doing that, I now have a desire to complete this work with many people from a variety of different backgrounds.
I am asking a favour of you, if you get this message somewhere in this universe.
Could you give us your voice or shadow of yourself.
It would be a great pleasure if there is anybody to help us.
I write down the process of your help as follows.
