Theatre HIPPO is the imaginary friend of GIRL, a young child. GIRL believes that HIPPO lives on the roof and can seemingly do anything he wants, when he wants, how he wants, particularly the things that GIRL is unable or not allowed to do. Through HIPPO, GIRL is able to allay her fears and gain confidence in her early childhood years. One of the most widely read books in history – 140 million copies sold worldwide – saint-exupéry’s exquisite and mysterious tale tells the adventures of a young and very curious prince who leaves his tiny home planet and journeys across the universe. Along the way he meets a pilot crash-landed in the desert, a cunning snake, a wild fox and an oddball cast of grown-ups with some very silly ideas about the things that really matter.
