The play was realised together with the attendants of the Activity therapy Workshops on the Szklane Domy 7 street in Cracov.
 
The play won the first prize against another 70 teams participating the Cracov Artistic Meetings Gaudium ( 2003 ) and took part in:

  • the international children and youth parish procession ‘Parafiada’ (Warsaw, June 2003)
  • the International Biennale VI Theatre Meetings ‘Art. And Therapy’ ( Łódź, 2004 ).

The play was also presented to the Cracov audience in:

  • the ‘Theatre Integration’ Project ( 2004 );
  • VII Week of the Disabled ‘I Am mutually in love with Cracov’ ( 2006 ).

The performance is based on the story by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. This was the only one that the author has put as a fairy-tale and has illustrated himself.

Only by the surface is this play meant for the children. Under the fairy-tale plot there is another one, with the universal truth. It is on growing up to the faithful love, to the real friendship, the responsibility for the other human. It asks questions about the value order, about the meaning of the relations with the others.
