Igor Stravinsky
A Soldier’s Tale
Pandemonium 5
The chamber series will be concluded by the only one of the five pieces that our audience is already familiar with, whose significance and value make it an unavoidable part of this concept – Igor Stravinsky’s intriguing and still revolutionary The Soldier’s Tale. This chamber music masterpiece is one of the first examples of interdisciplinary, total theatre, conceived so as to combine dance, music and acting. The piece addresses a Faustian topic – the story of a soldier coming home from war, who sells his violin/soul to the devil in return for riches.
