THE SOLDIER'S TALE

Presentation Programmation & distribution Video

 

Walked, walked on and on.

 

During the First World War, Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971), exiled in Switzerland, met the writer Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz (1878-1947). Lamenting the dearth of musical life, the two men decided to react. Stravinsky thought of Russian folk tales, in particular those of the folklorist Alexander Afanassiev (1826-1871). Filled with enthusiasm, Ramuz hastened to draw a libretto from one but erased any reference to Russian folklore. To the universal dimension of this new Faust responds thundering stage writing, inventive, poetic, and always surprising, featuring a magical mastery of acting and spaces. This is not ordinary musical theatre!
