SAINT-EXUPÉRY, LE COMMANDEURS DES OISEAUX

A Molière Award winner for *Adieu Monsieur Haffmann*, and acclaimed for his portrayal of Romain Gary in *La Promesse de l’aube* and subsequently of Joseph Kessel in *La liberté à tout prix*, Franck Desmedt continues his exploration of the great authors of the 20th century. They are as much astute witnesses to the turmoil of their times as they are beacons for the era we are living through.
Foremost among these exceptional figures is Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: by turns an aviator with the Aéropostale, author of masterpieces and an intrepid pilot during the Second World War. Alone on stage, Franck Desmedt takes the audience on a journey led at full throttle by his hero in search of the absolute, who ‘sees clearly only with the heart’.
