The Soldier's Tale

Approved

100 years ago, a flu pandemic, the "Spanish flu", claimed millions of lives. The borders were closed, parts of public life were paralyzed, most theaters were closed. In this situation, Stravinsky and Ramuz conceived a music theater with the most modest means.
As the sole actor, Michael Quast brings all the characters in the story to life with just his voice and the poorest of props. And tells the story of the soldier's pact with the devil, of the life-giving power of music and how the bitter end cannot be prevented. A camera transfers the “poor theatre” into its own visual world.

The very special chamber ensemble is ideally cast with seven musicians* from the Ensemble Modern, who are able to develop Stravinsky's broad spectrum of expressive effects with virtuosity.
